As you go from me today even you will find two men by Rachel's tomb, in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. And they will say to you, The she asses that you went to seek have been found. And, behold, your father has left off the matters of theshe asses and is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

And you will go on from there even further, and you will come to the great tree of Tabor. And you will find three men going up to God at Bethel, one carrying three kids, and one carrying three loaves of bread, and one carrying a skin of wine.

And they will ask you of your welfare and give to you two loaves of bread, and you will take them from their hand.

Afterward you will come to the hill of God where there is a fort of the Philistines. And it will happen as you come there to the city even you will meet a band of prophets going down from the high place; and before them will be a harp, and atambourine, and a flute, and a lyre. And they will be prophesying.

And the Spirit of Jehovah will be powerful on you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be turned into another man.

And it will be, when these signs come to you, do for yourself what your hand finds, for God is with you.

And you will go before me to Gilgal. And, behold! I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings, to sacrifice peace offerings. You will wait seven days until I come to you and make known to you what you shall do.

And it happened, all who knew him from yesterday and the third day, and saw him, even behold, he prophesied with prophets. And the people said, each one to his neighbor, What is this happening to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among theprophets?

And a man from there answered and said, And who is their father? On account of this it is for a proverb: Is Saul also among the prophets?

And he finished from prophesying, and he came to the high place.

And the uncle of Saul said to him and to his young man, Where did you go? And he said, To seek the she asses. And we saw that they were not, and we went to Samuel.

And the uncle of Saul said, Please tell me what Samuel said to you.

And Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the she asses were found. But he did not tell what Samuel said about the matter of the kingdom.
