20 E enviou Saul mensageiros que trouxessem a Davi, os quais viram uma companhia de profetas que profetizavam, e a Samuel que estava ali, e os presidia. E foi o espírito de Deus sobre os mensageiros de Saul, e eles também profetizaram.

21 E feito que foi saber a Saul, ele enviou outros mensageiros, os quais também profetizaram. E Saul voltou a enviar pela terceira vez mensageiros, e eles também profetizaram.
