1 Samuel 10:5

After that, shalt thou come unto the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines,—and it shall be, as thou comest in thither into the city, thou shalt light upon a band of prophets, coming down from the high place, and, before them, a harp, and a timbrel, and a flute, and a lyre, they having been moved to prophesy.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:

In Context

4then will they ask thee, of thy welfare,—and give thee two cakes of bread, which thou shalt receive at their hand.

6Then will come suddenly upon thee, the Spirit of Yahweh, and thou shalt be moved to prophesy with them,—and shalt be changed into another man.
