1 Samuel 10:11-18
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 10

11And it came about, when all who previously knew him saw that he was indeed prophesying with the prophets, that the people said to one another, 'What is this that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?' 12And a man from there responded and said, 'And who is their father?' Therefore it became a saying: 'Is Saul also among the prophets?' 13When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
14Now Saul’s uncle said to him and his servant, 'Where did you go?' And he said, 'To look for the donkeys. When we saw that they were nowhere to be found, we went to Samuel.' 15Saul’s uncle said, 'Please tell me what Samuel said to you.' 16So Saul said to his uncle, 'He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found.' But he did not tell him about the matter of the kingdom which Samuel had mentioned.
17Now Samuel called the people together to the Lord at Mizpah; 18and he said to the sons of Israel, 'This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘I brought Israel up from Egypt, and I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the power of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.’
King James Version

Chapter 10

11And 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?
12And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets? 13And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
14And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel. 15And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you. 16And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.
17And Samuel called the people together unto the Lord to Mizpeh; 18And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:

Chapter 10

11Everyone who knew him previously and saw him prophesy with the prophets asked each other, "What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"
12Then a man who was from there asked, "And who is their father?" As a result, "Is Saul also among the prophets?" became a popular saying. 13Then Saul finished prophesying and went to the high place.
14Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, "Where did you go?" "To look for the donkeys," Saul answered. "When we saw they weren’t there, we went to Samuel."
15"Tell me," Saul’s uncle asked, "what did Samuel say to you?"
16Saul told him, "He assured us the donkeys had been found." However, Saul did not tell him what Samuel had said about the matter of kingship.
17Samuel summoned the people to the Lord at Mizpah 18and said to the Israelites, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you from the power of the Egyptians and all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.’
New Living Translation

Chapter 10

11When those who knew Saul heard about it, they exclaimed, 'What? Is even Saul a prophet? How did the son of Kish become a prophet?'
12And one of those standing there said, 'Can anyone become a prophet, no matter who his father is?' So that is the origin of the saying 'Is even Saul a prophet?'
13When Saul had finished prophesying, he went up to the place of worship.
14Where have you been?' Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant. 'We were looking for the donkeys,' Saul replied, 'but we couldn’t find them. So we went to Samuel to ask him where they were.'
15Oh? And what did he say?' his uncle asked.
16He told us that the donkeys had already been found,' Saul replied. But Saul didn’t tell his uncle what Samuel said about the kingdom.
17Later Samuel called all the people of Israel to meet before the Lord at Mizpah. 18And he said, 'This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has declared: I brought you from Egypt and rescued you from the Egyptians and from all of the nations that were oppressing you.

Chapter 10

11And when all who knew him previously saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people said to one another, "What has come over the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?" 12And a man of the place answered, "And who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?" 13When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
14Saul 's uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, "To seek the donkeys. And when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel." 15And Saul 's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel said to you." 16And Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found." But about the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken, he did not tell him anything.
17Now Samuel called the people together to the Lord at Mizpah. 18And he said to the people of Israel, "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.’
New International Version

Chapter 10

11When all those who had formerly known him saw him prophesying with the prophets, they asked each other, "What is this that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"
12A man who lived there answered, "And who is their father?" So it became a saying: "Is Saul also among the prophets?" 13After Saul stopped prophesying, he went to the high place.
14Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, "Where have you been?" "Looking for the donkeys," he said. "But when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel."
15Saul’s uncle said, "Tell me what Samuel said to you."
16Saul replied, "He assured us that the donkeys had been found." But he did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship.
17Samuel summoned the people of Israel to the Lord at Mizpah 18and said to them, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt, and I delivered you from the power of Egypt and all the kingdoms that oppressed you.’

11And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, “What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?” 12Then a man from there answered and said, “But who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb: “ Is Saul also among the prophets?” 13And when he had finished prophesying, he went to the high place.
14Then Saul’s uncle said to him and his servant, “Where did you go?” So he said, “To look for the donkeys. When we saw that they were nowhere to be found, we went to Samuel.”
15And Saul’s uncle said, “Tell me, please, what Samuel said to you.”
16So Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found.” But about the matter of the kingdom, he did not tell him what Samuel had said.
17Then Samuel called the people together to the Lord at Mizpah, 18and said to the children of Israel, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all kingdoms and from those who oppressed you.’
