1 Samuel 10 — Context

10

And when they came to Gibeah, a band of prophets came face to face with him; and the spirit of God came on him with power and he took his place among them as a prophet.

11

Now when Saul's old friends saw him among the band of prophets, the people said to one another, What has come to Saul, the son of Kish? Is even Saul among the prophets?

12

And one of the people of that place said in answer, And who is their father? So it became a common saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?

13

Then going away from the prophets, he came to the house.

14

And Saul's father's brother said to him and his servant, Where have you been? And he said, Searching for the asses: and when we saw no sign of them, we came to Samuel.

15

Then he said, And what did Samuel say to you?

16

And Saul, answering him, said, He gave us word that the asses had come back. But he said nothing to him of Samuel's words about the kingdom.
