New English Translation
1 Samuel 10:10-13
New English Translation
10 When Saul and his servant[a] arrived at Gibeah, a company of prophets was coming out to meet him. Then the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul[b] and he prophesied among them. 11 When everyone who had known him previously saw him prophesying with the prophets, the people asked one another, “What on earth has happened to the son of Kish? Does even Saul belong with the prophets?”
12 A man who was from there replied, “And who is their father?” Therefore this became a proverb: “Is even Saul among the prophets?” 13 When Saul[c] had finished prophesying, he went to the high place.

New International Version
10 When he and his servant arrived at Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him; the Spirit(A) of God came powerfully upon him, and he joined in their prophesying.(B) 11 When all those who had formerly known him saw him prophesying with the prophets, they asked each other, “What is this(C) that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”(D)
12 A man who lived there answered, “And who is their father?” So it became a saying: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”(E) 13 After Saul stopped prophesying,(F) he went to the high place.
