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. (D)Then the Spirit of the Lord will rush upon you, (E)and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. Now when (F)these signs meet you, do what your hand finds to do, (G)for God is with you. 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.”

And all these signs came to pass that day. 10 When they came to (K)Gibeah,[b] behold, a group of prophets met him, (L)and the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied among them. 11 And when all who knew him previously saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people said to one another, “What has come over the son of Kish? (M)Is Saul also among the prophets?”
