2 »When you leave me today two men will be at Rachel’s grave on the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. They will tell you: ‘We have found the donkeys you are looking for. Your father no longer cares about them. Instead he is worried about you. He keeps asking: What can I do to find my son?’«
3 »You will go from there until you find the oak tree of Tabor. You will see three men going up to God to Bethel. One will have three young goats and another three cakes of bread and another a skin full of wine:
4 »They will say: ‘Peace be with you.’ They will give you two cakes of bread that you should take from them.
5 »After that you will come to Gibeah, the hill of God, where an armed force of the Philistines is stationed. When you come to the town, you will see a band of prophets coming down from the high place with instruments of music before them. They will be acting like prophets:
6 »The Spirit of Jehovah will come upon you with power. You will be acting like a prophet with them, and will be changed into a different person.
7 »When you see these signs be sure to take what is offered to you. For God is with you.
8 »Go ahead of me to Gilgal. I will come to sacrifice burnt offerings and make fellowship offerings. Wait seven days until I come to tell you what to do.«
9 When Saul tried to leave Samuel, God changed his mind. That day all these signs happened.
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.
