Then Saul said to his servant, "Well said. Come, let us go." So they went to the city where the man of God was.

Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, "Please tell me where the seer's house is."

"After that you shall come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall happen, when you have come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tambourine, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they will be prophesying:
