=== Saul among the prophets === Having been anointed by Samuel, Saul is told of signs indicating that he has been divinely appointed. The last of these is that Saul will be met by an ecstatic group of prophets leaving a ''[[high place]]'' and playing the [[lyre]], [[tambourine]], and [[flute]]s. Saul encounters the ecstatic prophets and joins them.<ref name=chabad>{{Cite web |url=http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/463971/jewish/Saul-First-King-of-Israel.htm |title="Saul, First King of Israel", Chabad.org}}</ref> Later, Saul sends men to pursue David, but when they meet a group of ecstatic prophets playing music, they are overcome by the Spirit of God and join in giving prophetic words. Saul sends more men, but they too join the prophets. Eventually, Saul himself goes and also joins the prophets.<ref>{{bibleverse|1|Samuel|19:24|HE}}</ref>
