3 “You will proceed from there until you come to the oak of Tabor. Three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you there, one bringing three goats, one bringing three loaves of bread, and one bringing a skin of wine.
4 They will ask how you are and give you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from them.
5 “After that you will come to the Hill of God where there are Philistine garrisons. When you arrive at the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place prophesying. They will be preceded by harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres.
6 The Spirit of the Lord will control you, you will prophesy with them, and you will be transformed into a different person.
7 When these signs have happened to you, do whatever your circumstances require because God is with you.
8 Afterward, go ahead of me to Gilgal. I will come to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice fellowship offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you and show you what to do.”
9 When Saul turned around to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all the signs came about that day.
