3 “Then you will go on until you reach the great tree at Tabor. There three men will meet you. They will be on their way to worship God at Bethel. One man will be carrying three young goats. The second man will be carrying three loaves of bread. And the third one will have a leather bag full of wine.
4 They will greet you and offer you two loaves of bread. You will accept the bread from them.
5 Then you will go to Gibeah of God. There is a Philistine camp there. When you come near this town, a group of prophets will come out. They will be coming from the place of worship. And they will be playing harps, tambourines, flutes and lyres. And they will be prophesying.
6 The Spirit of the Lord will enter you with power. You will prophesy with these prophets. You will be changed into a different man.
7 After these signs happen, do whatever you find to do. God will help you.
8 “Go ahead of me to Gilgal. I will come down to you. Then I will offer whole burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. But you must wait seven days. Then I will come and tell you what to do.”
9 When Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart. All these signs came true that day.
