1 Samuel 10:5-13

Christian Standard Bible

⁵ “After that you will come to Gibeah of God^(A) where there are Philistine garrisons.^[a] When you arrive at the city, you will meet a group of prophets^(B) coming down from the high place prophesying.^(C) They will be preceded by harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres. ⁶ The Spirit of the Lord will come powerfully on you,^(D) you will prophesy with them,^(E) and you will be transformed.^{(F) 7} When these signs have happened to you, do whatever your circumstances require^[b](G) because God is with you. ⁸ Afterward, go ahead of me to Gilgal. I will come to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice fellowship offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you and show you what to do.”

⁹ When Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed his heart,^[c] and all the signs came about that day. ¹⁰ When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, a group of prophets met him. Then the Spirit of God came powerfully on him, and he prophesied along with them.

¹¹ Everyone who knew him previously and saw him prophesy with the prophets asked each other, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?” ^(H)

¹² Then a man who was from there asked, “And who is their father?” ^(I)

As a result, “Is Saul also among the prophets?” became a popular saying. ¹³ Then Saul finished prophesying and went to the high place.
