New Testament

1 Samuel 10:10-18 Modern English Version (MEV)

10. When they came to the hill, a group of prophets met him. And the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.

11. So when all who previously knew him saw that he prophesied among the prophets, the people said one to another, “What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”

12. And a man from there answered and said, “But who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

13. When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.

14. And Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?”And he said, “To seek the donkeys. And when we saw that they were nowhere around, we went to Samuel.”

15. Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”

16. Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys were found.” But the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken, he did not mention.

17. Therefore Samuel called the people together unto the Lord at Mizpah.

18. And he said to the children of Israel, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘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 them that oppressed you.’
