1 Samuel 10:12-14

New Living Translation

¹² And one of those standing there said, “Can anyone become a prophet, no matter who his father is?”^[a] So that is the origin of the saying “Is even Saul a prophet?”

¹³ When Saul had finished prophesying, he went up to the place of worship. ¹⁴ “Where have you been?” Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant.

“We were looking for the donkeys,” Saul replied, “but we couldn’t find them. So we went to Samuel to ask him where they were.”
