1 And Samuel took the cruse of oil and poured it over his head and kissed him, and he said, “Has not the LORD anointed you over His inheritance as prince? 2 When you go away from me today you shall find two men by Rachel’s Tomb in the region of Benjamin at Zelzah, and they will say to you, ‘The asses that you went off to seek have been found, and, look, your father has put aside the matter of the asses and is worrying about you, saying, What shall I do about my son?’ 3 And you shall slip onward from there and you shall come to the Terebinth of Tabor, and there three men will find you who are going up to God at Bethel, one bearing three kids and one bearing three loaves of bread and one bearing a jug of wine. 4 And they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, and you shall take from their hand. 5 Afterward you shall come to Gibeath-Elohim, where the Philistine prefect is. **And as you come into town there, you shall encounter a band of prophets coming down from the high place, preceded by lute and drum and flute and lyre, and they will be speaking in ecstasy. 6 And the spirit of the LORD shall seize you, and you shall go into ecstasy with them and you shall turn into another man. 7 And when these signs come upon you, do what your hand finds to do, for God is with you.** 8And you shall go down before me to Gilgal, and, look, I shall be coming down to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice well-being sacrifices. Seven days shall you wait until I come to you, and I shall inform you what you must do.” 9 And it happened as he turned his back to go off from Samuel, that God gave him another heart and all these signs came to pass on that day. **10 And they came there to Gibeah, and look, a band of prophets was coming toward him, and the spirit of the LORD seized him and he went into ecstasy in their midst. 11 And so, whoever knew him from times gone by, saw, and, look, with the prophets he spoke in ecstasy, and each would say to his fellow, “What has befallen the son of Kish? Is Saul, too, among the prophets?”** 12 And one man from there would answer and say, “And who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul, too, among the prophets?” 13 And he ceased from his ecstasy and came to the high place.
