1 Samuel 10:10 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 10:10

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.

11 And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, “What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? ^aIs Saul also among the prophets?”

12 Then a man from there answered and said, “But ^awho is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

13 And when he had finished prophesying, he went to the high place.

14 Then Saul’s ^auncle said to him and his servant, “Where did you go?” So he said, “To look for the donkeys. When we saw that they were nowhere to be found, we went to Samuel.”
