10:10,11
Saul and his servant met the foretold company of prophets. The Spirit of God came upon Saul, and he joined in the prophesying. This was not the same as being born again, for there was no deep rooted change in Saul. The people who had formerly known Saul observed this they were amazed, for they did not associate Saul with being a prophet.
10:12,13
“And who is their father?” This could be taken as symptomatic of a contemptuous attitude towards the prophets. Or, and I think more likely, it could mean that being a prophet had nothing to do with one’s ancestry, but was purely dependent upon the Spirit of God, so why shouldn’t God choose to make Saul prophesy? Whatever the case, after Saul had finished prophesying he went up to the high place.
