1 Samuel 19:18-24
New King James Version
18 So David fled and escaped, and went to (A)Samuel at (B)Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth. 19 Now it was told Saul, saying, “Take note, David is at Naioth in Ramah!” 20 Then (C)Saul sent messengers to take David. (D)And when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as leader over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also (E)prophesied. 21 And when Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. Then Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also. 22 Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is at Sechu. So he asked, and said, “Where are Samuel and David?”
And someone said, “Indeed they are at Naioth in Ramah.” 23 So he went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then (F)the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on and prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah. 24 (G)And he also stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down (H)naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, (I)“Is Saul also among the prophets?”
