1 Samuel

1 Samuel 10:5–6

⁵After that you will come to Gibeah of God,^c where the Philistines have an outpost. As you approach the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place, preceded by harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres, and they will be prophesying.

⁶Then the Spirit of the LORD will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be transformed into a different person.
