19 Somebody told Saul that David was living at Naioth in Ramah. 20 So Saul sent men to take hold of David. When the men arrived, they saw a group of prophets. Samuel was their leader. They were all speaking messages from God. Then the Spirit of God came on Saul's men. They also started to prophesy. 21 When people told Saul about this, he sent more men to Naioth. But they prophesied too. So Saul sent a third group of men. These men also started to prophesy.
22 Then Saul himself went to Ramah. He went as far as the large well at Secu. He asked the people, ‘Where are Samuel and David?’
The people replied, ‘They are at Naioth in Ramah.’
23 Saul went to Naioth. The Spirit of God came on him also. He started to prophesy as he walked towards Naioth. 24 When he met Samuel, he took off his clothes and he continued to prophesy. He lay on the ground with no clothes all that day and all that night. So people still say, ‘Has Saul really become one of the prophets?’
