When you leave me today, you will see two men beside Rachel’s tomb at Zelzah, on the border of Benjamin. They will tell you that the donkeys have been found and that your father has stopped worrying about them and is now worried about you. He is asking, ‘Have you seen my son?’

“When you get to the oak of Tabor, you will see three men coming toward you who are on their way to worship God at Bethel. One will be bringing three young goats, another will have three loaves of bread, and the third will be carrying a wineskin full of wine. They will greet you and offer you two of the loaves, which you are to accept.

“When you arrive at Gibeah of God,[a] where the garrison of the Philistines is located, you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the place of worship. They will be playing a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre, and they will be prophesying. At that time the Spirit of the Lord will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them. You will be changed into a different person. After these signs take place, do what must be done, for God is with you.

When you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel’s tomb,(A) at Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys(B) you set out to look for have been found. And now your father has stopped thinking about them and is worried(C) about you. He is asking, “What shall I do about my son?”’

“Then you will go on from there until you reach the great tree of Tabor. Three men going up to worship God at Bethel(D) will meet you there. One will be carrying three young goats, another three loaves of bread, and another a skin of wine. They will greet you and offer you two loaves of bread,(E) which you will accept from them.

“After that you will go to Gibeah(F) of God, where there is a Philistine outpost.(G) As you approach the town, you will meet a procession of prophets(H) coming down from the high place(I) with lyres, timbrels,(J) pipes(K) and harps(L) being played before them, and they will be prophesying.(M) The Spirit(N) of the Lord will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed(O) into a different person. Once these signs are fulfilled, do whatever(P) your hand(Q) finds to do, for God is with(R) you.
