And it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down jfrom the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute, and a harp before them; kand they will be prophesying. 6 Then lthe Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and myou will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. 7 And let it be, when these nsigns come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for oGod is with you. 8 You shall go down before me pto Gilgal; and surely I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and make sacrifices of peace offerings. qSeven days you shall wait, till I come to you and show you what you should do.”

9 So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God 3gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day. 10 rWhen they came there to the hill, there was sa group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them. 11 And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, “What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? tIs Saul also among the prophets?”
