New Living Translation

1 Samuel 10:6-14 New Living Translation (NLT)

6. At that time the Spirit of the lord will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them. You will be changed into a different person.

7. After these signs take place, do what must be done, for God is with you.

8. Then go down to Gilgal ahead of me. I will join you there to sacrifice burnt offerings and peace offerings. You must wait for seven days until I arrive and give you further instructions.”

9. As Saul turned and started to leave, God gave him a new heart, and all Samuel’s signs were fulfilled that day.

10. When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, they saw a group of prophets coming toward them. Then the Spirit of God came powerfully upon Saul, and he, too, began to prophesy.

11. When those who knew Saul heard about it, they exclaimed, “What? Is even Saul a prophet? How did the son of Kish become a prophet?”

12. And one of those standing there said, “Can anyone become a prophet, no matter who his father is?” So that is the origin of the saying “Is even Saul a prophet?”

13. When Saul had finished prophesying, he went up to the place of worship.

14. “Where have you been?” Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant.“We were looking for the donkeys,” Saul replied, “but we couldn’t find them. So we went to Samuel to ask him where they were.”
