4. And they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall accept from their hand.
5. After that you shall come to Gibeath-elohim, where there is a garrison of the Philistines. And there, as soon as you come to the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, prophesying.
6. Then the Spirit of the Lord will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.
7. Now when these signs meet you, do what your hand finds to do, for God is with you.
8. Then go down before me to Gilgal. And behold, I am coming down to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice peace offerings. Seven days you shall wait, until I come to you and show you what you shall do.”

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.”
