1 Samuel 10:5-9
English Standard Version
5 After that you shall come to (A)Gibeath-elohim,[a] (B)where there is a garrison of the Philistines. And there, as soon as you come to the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down (C)from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, prophesying. 6 (D)Then the Spirit of the Lord will rush upon you, (E)and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. 7 Now when (F)these signs meet you, do what your hand finds to do, (G)for God is with you. 8 Then go down before me (H)to Gilgal. And behold, I am coming down to you to offer burnt offerings and (I)to sacrifice peace offerings. (J)Seven days you shall wait, until I come to you and show you what you shall do.”
9 When he turned his back to leave Samuel, God gave him another heart. And all these signs came to pass that day.
