1 Samuel 10:8

6 Then ^athe Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and ^byou will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.

7 And let it be, when these ^asigns come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for ^bGod is with you.

8 You shall go down before me ^ato Gilgal; and surely I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and make sacrifices of peace offerings. ^bSeven days you shall wait, till I come to you and show you what you should do.”

9 So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God¹ gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.

10 ^aWhen they came there to the hill, there was ^ba group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.

1 Samuel 10:8

Seven days shalt thou tarry - I will come to thee within seven days, offer sacrifices, receive directions from the Lord, and deliver them to thee. It is likely that these seven days referred to the time in which Samuel came to Saul to Gilgal, offered sacrifices, and confirmed the kingdom to him, after he had defeated the Ammonites. See I Samuel 11:14, I Samuel 11:15.
