God's Word Translation

1 Samuel 10:4-11 God's Word Translation (GW)

4. They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you should accept from them.

5. After that, you will come to the hill of God, where the Philistines have a military post. When you arrive at the city, you will meet a group of prophets prophesying as they come from the worship site. They will be led by men playing a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre.

6. Then the Lord’s Spirit will come over you. You will be a different person while you prophesy with them.

7. When these signs happen to you, do what you must, because God is with you.

8. Go ahead of me to Gilgal. Then I will come to sacrifice burnt offerings and make fellowship offerings. Wait seven days until I come to tell you what to do.”

9. When Saul turned around to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s attitude. That day all these signs happened.

10. When Saul came to the hill, a group of prophets came to meet him, and God’s Spirit came over him. He prophesied with them.

11. When all who had known him before saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people asked one another, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul one of the prophets?”
