Samuel’s Signs Fulfilled

As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed [Saul’s] heart, and all the signs came to pass that day. 10 When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah,[fn] a group of prophets met him. Then the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied along with them.

11 

When all those who had formerly known [Saul] saw him prophesying with the prophets, they asked one vvv another,“What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”

12 

Then a man who lived there replied,“And who is their father?” So the saying became a proverb:“Is Saul also among the prophets?”

13 

And when Saul had finished prophesying, he went up to the high place.

14 

Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant,“Where did you go?”

“To look for the donkeys,” Saul replied.“When we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.”

15 

“Tell me,” Saul’s uncle asked,“what did Samuel say to you?”

16 

And Saul replied“He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But Saul did not tell [his uncle] what Samuel had said about the kingship.
