1 Samuel 10:9-11
New English Translation

Saul Becomes King

9 As Saul[a] turned[b] to leave Samuel, God changed his inmost person.[c] All these signs happened on that very day. 10 When Saul and his servant[d] arrived at Gibeah, a company of prophets was coming out to meet him. Then the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul[e] and he prophesied among them. 11 When everyone who had known him previously saw him prophesying with the prophets, the people asked one another, “What on earth has happened to the son of Kish? Does even Saul belong with the prophets?”
