I Samuel 10:22

King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology

Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?
Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Beth–el, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:
After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:
And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.
¶And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.
And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.
And Samuel called the people together unto the Lord to Mizpeh;
And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes, and by your thousands.
When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.
And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.
