1 Samuel 10:8-16 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

8. Afterward, go ahead of me to Gilgal. I will come to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice fellowship offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you and show you what to do.”

9. When Saul turned around to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all the signs came about that day.

10. When Saul and his attendant arrived at Gibeah, a group of prophets met him. Then the Spirit of God took control of him, and he prophesied along with them.

11. Everyone who knew him previously and saw him prophesy with the prophets asked each other, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets? ”

12. Then a man who was from there asked, “And who is their father? ” As a result, “Is Saul also among the prophets? ” became a popular saying.

13. Then Saul finished prophesying and went to the high place.

14. Saul’s uncle asked him and his attendant, “Where did you go? ”“To look for the donkeys,” Saul answered. “When we saw they weren’t there, we went to Samuel.”

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

16. Saul told him, “He assured us the donkeys had been found.” However, Saul did not tell him what Samuel had said about the matter of kingship.
