1 Samuel 10:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ When Saul arrived at Gibeah, a group of prophets met him. The Spirit of God suddenly took control of him,^[a] and right there in the middle of the group he began prophesying.

¹¹ Some people who had known Saul for a long time saw that he was speaking and behaving like a prophet. They said to each other, “What's happened? How can Saul be a prophet?”

^12 (A) “Why not?” one of them answered. “Saul has as much right to be a prophet as anyone else!”^[b] That's why everyone started saying, “How can Saul be a prophet?”
