⁵ After that you shall come to the hill of God ^(A)where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down ^(B)from the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute, and a harp before them; ^(C)and they will be prophesying.

²⁰ Then ^(A)Saul sent messengers to take David. ^(B)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 ^(C)prophesied.

¹⁹ Yet He ^(A)sent prophets to them, to bring them back to the Lord; and they testified against them, but they would not listen.

²⁵ Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have even ^(A)sent to you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.

⁴ However ^(A)I have sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, “Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate!”

⁵ I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; ^[a]for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.
