1 Samuel 10:5

10:5 Afterward you will go to Gibeah of God, where there are Philistine officials. ¹  When you enter the town, you will meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place. They will have harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres, and they will be prophesying.

1 Samuel 10:10

10:10 When Saul and his servant ²  arrived at Gibeah, a company of prophets was coming out to meet him. Then the spirit of God rushed upon Saul ³  and he prophesied among them.

¹ tn Or “sentries.” Some translate “outpost” (NIV) or “garrison” (NAB, NRSV, NLT) here (see 1 Sam 13:3). The noun is plural in the Hebrew text, but the LXX and other ancient witnesses read a singular noun here.

² tc Two medieval Hebrew mss, the LXX, and the Syriac Peshitta have the singular “he” (in which case the referent would be Saul alone).

³ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
