Is Saul also among the prophets ? drb @1Samuel:10:12 @And one answered another , saying : And who is their father ? therefore it became a proverb : Is Saul also among the prophets ? drb @1Samuel:10:13 @And when he had made an end of prophesying , he came to the high place . drb @1Samuel:10:14 @And Saul 's uncle said to him , and to his servant : Whither went you ?
