shall be prophesying.

The hill of God... Gabaa, in which there was also at that time, a high
place or altar.-Prophets... These were men whose office it was to sing
hymns and praises to God; for such in holy writ are called prophets, and
their singing praises to God is called prophesying. See 1 Par. alias 1
Chr. 15.22, and 25.1. Now there were in those days colleges, or shcools
for training up these prophets; and it seems there was one of these
schools at this hill of God; and another at Najoth in Ramatha. See 1
Kings 19.20, 21, etc.

10:6. And the Spirit of the Lord shall come upon thee, and thou shalt
prophesy with them, and shalt be changed into another man.

10:7. When therefore these signs shall happen to thee, do whatsoever thy

tha the was with the prophets, and prophesied, said to each other: What
is this that hath happened to the son of Cis? is Saul also among the
prophets?

10:12. And one answered another, saying: And who is their father?
therefore it became a proverb: Is Saul also among the prophets?

Their father... That is, their teacher, or superior. As much as to say,
Who could bring about such a wonderful change as to make Saul a prophet?

10:13. And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high
place.

Samuel.

10:15. And his uncle said to him: Tell me what Samuel said to thee.

10:16. And Saul said to his uncle: He told us that the asses were found.
But of the matter of the kingdom of which Samuel had spoken to him, he
