Then the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul and he prophesied among them. 11 When everyone who had known him previously saw him prophesying with the prophets, the people all asked one another,“What on earth has happened to the son of Kish?

So Saul sent messengers a third time, but they also prophesied. 22 Finally Saul himself went to Ramah. When he arrived at the large cistern that is in Secu, he asked,“Where are Samuel and David?” They said,“At Naioth in Ramah.” 23 So Saul went to Naioth in Ramah.

He lay there naked all that day and night.(For that reason it is asked,“Is Saul also among the prophets?”)

    26Church Order What should you do then, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church.

    27If someone speaks in a tongue, it should be two, or at the most three, one after the other, and someone must interpret.

    28But if there is no interpreter, he should be silent in the church. Let him speak to himself and to God.

    29Two or three prophets should speak and the others should evaluate what is said.

    30And if someone sitting down receives a revelation, the person who is speaking should conclude.
