← 1 Samuel 10:11	1 Samuel 10:12 (KJV)	1 Samuel 10:13 →
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 one of the same place answered and said, But who [is] their father? Therefore it became a proverb, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?	And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
