“Bring the portion I gave you and told you to keep safe.” He brought a thigh with the lower part. That thigh was from a deer. He placed the lower thigh before Saul. It was a pig's thigh.

“Eat what has been set before you.” “This has been kept for you since I invited the people to the feast.” Samuel and Saul ate together. Saul said he did not eat pork. A servant said they could eat because others were eating pork.

They came down from the high place of worship. They came down from the high place and entered the city. Samuel spoke with Saul on the rooftop. A beautiful dove brought a letter. The letter said Samuel would go to heaven.

Samuel called Saul, who was on the rooftop. Samuel said, “Get up, I will send you on your way.” Saul got up. Samuel and Saul went outside. As they went out, a dove came and sat on them.

Samuel and Saul reached the edge of the city. Saul told his servant to walk ahead. The servant walked ahead. Samuel told Saul to wait. Samuel said he had to reveal God's message to him.

He took a flask of oil and poured it on Saul's head. He kissed him. He said, “The Lord has anointed you as a ruler over His people.” He said, “I have appointed you as the king of Israel.” He told him to gather his donkeys.

“When you reach the border of Benjamin, near Rachel’s tomb, you will meet two men.” “The donkeys you were looking for have been found.” “Your father is no longer worried about the donkeys.” “Your father is now worried about you.” Saul was happy to hear this.

“You will reach the great tree of Tabor.” “You will meet three men going to worship God.” “One will have three young goats.” “Another will have two loaves of bread.” “Another will have a skin of wine.”

“You will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place.” “They will be preceded by lyres, tambourines, flutes, and harps.” “They will be prophesying.” “The Spirit of the Lord will come upon you.” “You will prophesy with them.”

“Certain signs will take place.” “You will know that the Lord is with you.” “Then you must go to Gilgal.” “I will come to offer burnt offerings and fellowship offerings.” “Wait for seven days until I tell you what to do.”

God changed Saul’s heart. The signs Samuel mentioned were fulfilled that day. Saul lit a lamp. He took a stone and set it up. He spent the night there.

A group of prophets met him. The Spirit of God came upon Saul. He began prophesying among them. Those who knew him were surprised to see him prophesy. Some people thought Saul had gone mad.

“What has happened to the son of Kish?” “Is Saul also among the prophets?” Someone asked, “Who is his father?” “Is Saul really one of the prophets?” became a common saying. The people anointed Saul as a prophet by pouring oil on him.

Saul’s uncle arrived. His uncle asked his servant, “Where have you been?” The servant said, “We were looking for the donkeys.” “The donkeys were not found,” he said. He mentioned that they had gone to see Samuel.

“He confirmed that the donkeys had been found.” “Saul did not mention what Samuel said about the kingdom.” “He said we ate pork.” “He spoke about a dove bringing a letter.” “He said Saul had a gemstone from the dove’s neck.”
