1 Samuel 10:12 in Context — 1 Samuel 10

10 Lorsqu’ils arrivèrent à Guibea, voici, une troupe de prophètes vint à sa rencontre. L’esprit de Dieu le saisit, et il prophétisa au milieu d’eux.

11 Tous ceux qui l’avaient connu auparavant virent qu’il prophétisait avec les prophètes, et l’on se disait l’un à l’autre dans le peuple: Qu’est-il arrivé au fils de Kis? Saül est-il aussi parmi les prophètes?

12 Quelqu’un de Guibea répondit: Et qui est leur père? De là le proverbe: Saül est-il aussi parmi les prophètes?

13 Lorsqu’il eut fini de prophétiser, il se rendit au haut lieu.

14 L’oncle de Saül dit à Saül et à son serviteur: Où êtes-vous allés? Saül répondit: Chercher les ânesses; mais nous ne les avons pas aperçues, et nous sommes allés vers Samuel.
