Share

Settings

10 When they were going from there to Gibeah, a band of prophets met him; and the spirit of God possessed him, and he fell into a prophetic frenzy along with them.
11 When all who knew him before saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people said to one another, "What has come over the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"
12 A man of the place answered, "And who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
13 When his prophetic frenzy had ended, he went home.
