1 Samuel 19:23 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 19:23

And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah
He went on from the well towards the place:

and the Spirit of God was upon him also;
as well as upon his messengers; even the spirit of prophecy, as the Targum:

and he went on and prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah:
in this he differed from his messengers; they did not prophesy till they came to that place, but Saul began to prophesy before he came thither, as he was in his way from the well to it.
