3 Keep going until you come to the oak tree at Tabor. There you will find three men on their way to worship God at Bethel: One will be carrying three young goats, one will be carrying three loaves of bread, and one will be carrying a ⌊full⌋ wineskin.
4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you should accept from them.
5 After that, you will come to the hill of God, where the Philistines have a military post. When you arrive at the city, you will meet a group of prophets prophesying as they come from the worship site. They will be led by men playing a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre.
6 Then the Lord’s Spirit will come over you. You will be a different person while you prophesy with them.
7 When these signs happen to you, do what you must, because God is with you.
8 Go ahead of me to Gilgal. Then I will come to sacrifice burnt offerings and make fellowship offerings. Wait seven days until I come to tell you what to do.”
9 When Saul turned around to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s attitude. That day all these signs happened.
