3. “Then you will go forward from there, and you will come to the plain of Tabor. And there you will meet three men going up to God to Bethel: one carrying three kids, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine.
4. And they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you will receive from their hands.
5. “After that you will come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is. And when you come there to the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre before them. And they will prophesy.
6. And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them. And you will be turned into another man.
7. And it will be when these signs come to you, do for yourself what the occasion requires; for God is with you.
8. “Then you will go down before me to Gilgal. And listen, I will be coming down to you, in order to offer burnt offerings, and to offer sacrifices of peace offerings. Seven days you will wait, until I come to you. Then I will make known to you what you will do.”
9. And it happened, that when he turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart. And all those signs came to pass that day.
