6. And the Spirit of the Lord will prosper thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them and shalt be turned into another man.
7. And let it be when these signs are come unto thee that thou do according as thou shalt find at hand, for God is with thee.
8. And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal, and, behold, I will come down unto thee to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Seven days shalt thou tarry until I come to thee and show thee what thou shalt do.
9. And it was so that when he had turned his shoulder to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart, and all those signs came to pass that day.
10. And when they came there to the hill, behold, the company of prophets met him, and the Spirit of God prospered him, and he prophesied among them.
11. And it came to pass when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
12. And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore, it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
13. And he ceased prophesying and came to the high place.
14. And Saul’s uncle said unto him and to his servant, Where went ye? And he said, To seek the asses, and when we saw that they were nowhere, we came to Samuel.
15. And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.
16. And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he did not tell him.
17. And Samuel called the people together unto the Lord to Mizpeh
18. and said unto the sons of Israel, Thus hath the Lord God of Israel said, I brought up Israel out of Egypt and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all kingdoms and of those that oppressed you.
19. But ye have this day rejected your God, who saves you out of all your afflictions and your troubles, and ye have said unto him, No, but set a king over us. Now, therefore, present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.
20. And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
21. When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their lineages, the family of Matri was taken, and from it Saul the son of Kish was taken, and when they sought him, he could not be found.
22. Therefore, they enquired of the Lord further, if the man should yet come there. And the Lord answered, Behold, he has hid himself among the stuff.
