These three men will say hello to you. They will offer you two bread offerings reserved for priests,[a] and you will accept that bread. Then you will go to Gibeath Elohim. There is a Philistine fort in that place. When you come to this town, a group of prophets will come out. These prophets will come down from the place for worship.[b] They will be prophesying.[c] They will be playing harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres. Then the Lord’s Spirit will come on you with great power. You will be changed. You will be like a different man. You will begin to prophesy with these prophets.
