Context Readings

Saul Becomes King

10 When Saul came to the hill a group of prophets came to meet him. God's Spirit came over him. He prophesied with them. 11 It came about, when all who knew him previously saw that he prophesied now with the prophets, that the people said to one another, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?” 12 A man from that place asked: Who is their father? So it became a proverb: Is Saul one of the prophets?
