1 Samuel 10:10-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

10. When they came to Gibeah, behold, a group of prophets met him, and the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied among them.

11. And when all who knew him previously saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people said to one another, “What has come over the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”

12. And a man of the place answered, “And who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

13. When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.

14. Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?” And he said, “To seek the donkeys. And when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.”

15. And Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”

16. And Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found.” But about the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken, he did not tell him anything.
