20 he (desired) sent messengers to seize him (beloved). But when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel (his name is El) leading them, the Spirit of God {Ruach Elohim} came upon them, and Saul’s messengers also began to prophesy.

21 When this was reported to Saul (desired), he sent more messengers, but they began to prophesy as well. So Saul tried again and sent messengers a third time, and even they began to prophesy.

22 Finally, Saul himself left for Ramah (hill) and came to the large cistern at Secu (the watch-tower), where he asked, “Where are Samuel (his name is El) and David (beloved)?” “At Naioth (habitations) in Ramah,” he was told.

23 So Saul went to Naioth (habitations) in Ramah (hill). But the Spirit of God {Ruach Elohim} came upon even Saul, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

24 Then Saul stripped off his robes and also prophesied before Samuel (his name is El). And he collapsed and lay naked all that day and night. That is why it is said, “Is Saul (desired) also among the prophets?”
