The Message
Saul Among the Prophets
10-12 When Saul and his party got to Gibeah, there were the prophets, right in front of them! Before he knew it, the Spirit of God came on Saul and he was prophesying right along with them. When those who had previously known Saul saw him prophesying with the prophets, they were totally surprised. “What’s going on here? What’s come over the son of Kish? How on earth did Saul get to be a prophet?” One man spoke up and said, “Who started this? Where did these people ever come from?”
That’s how the saying got started, “Saul among the prophets! Who would have guessed?!”

1 Samuel 10:10-12
New International Version
10 When he and his servant arrived at Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him; the Spirit(A) of God came powerfully upon him, and he joined in their prophesying.(B) 11 When all those who had formerly known him saw him prophesying with the prophets, they asked each other, “What is this(C) that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”(D)
12 A man who lived there answered, “And who is their father?” So it became a saying: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”(E)
