1 Samuel 10:1-13 ▼

1 And Samuel will take a flask of oil and pour upon his head, and he will kiss him and say, Is it not that Jehovah anointed thee for leader over his inheritance?

2 In thy going this day from me and thou shalt find two men by the sepulchre of Rachel in the bound of Benjamin in Zelzah; and they said to thee, The asses were found which thou wentest to seek: and behold, thy father cast off the matters of the asses, and was afraid for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

3 And pass on from thence and beyond, and thou camest to the oak of Tabor, there three men shall find thee going up to God, to the house of God, one lifting up three kids and one lifting up three rounds of bread, and one lifting up a skin of wine.

4 And they asked thee for peace, and they gave thee two of bread, and thou receivedst from their hands.

5 After this thou shalt come to the hill of God, where there Philisteim standing: and it will be when thou comest there to the city, and thou didst light upon a band of prophets coming down out of Bamah, and before them a lyre, and a drum, and a pipe, and a harp; and they prophesying.

6 And the shout of Jehovah fell suddenly upon thee and thou shalt prophesy with them, and be turned to another man.

7 And it was when these signs shall come upon thee, do for thyself what thy hand shall find, for God is with thee.

8 And go down before me to Gilgal; and behold, I come down to thee to bring up burnt offerings, to sacrifice sacrifices of peace: seven days shalt thou wait till my coming to thee, and I made known to thee what thou shalt do.

9 And it was as he turned away his shoulder to go from Samuel, and God will turn to him another heart: and all these signs will come in that day.

10 And they will come there to Gibeah, and behold, a band of prophets to meet him; and the spirit of God will fall suddenly upon him and he will prophesy in the midst of them.

11 And it will be all will know him from yesterday the third day, and will see him and behold, he prophesied with the prophets, and the people will say, a man to his neighbor, What was this to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

12 And a man will answer from thence and will say, And who their father? For this it was for a parable, Is Saul also among the prophets?

13 And he will finish prophesying and will come to Bamah.
