3 “Then you will go forward from there, and you will come to the plain of Tabor. And there you will meet three men going up to God to Bethel: one carrying three kids, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine.
4 And they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you will receive from their hands.
5 “After that you will come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is. And when you come there to the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre before them. And they will prophesy.
6 And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them. And you will be turned into another man.
7 And it will be when these signs come to you, do for yourself what the occasion requires; for God is with you.
8 “Then you will go down before me to Gilgal. And listen, I will be coming down to you, in order to offer burnt offerings, and to offer sacrifices of peace offerings. Seven days you will wait, until I come to you. Then I will make known to you what you will do.”
9 And it happened, that when he turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart. And all those signs came to pass that day.
