Saul Prophesies at Ramah and David Escapes

¹⁸ David escaped and fled. He came to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went and stayed at Naioth. ¹⁹ It was reported to Saul saying, “David is at Naioth in Ramah right now.” ²⁰ Saul sent messengers to take David, and they saw a group of prophets caught up in prophetic ecstasy,^[a] with Samuel standing beside them leading them. Then the Spirit of God came on Saul’s messengers, and they also were caught up in prophetic ecstasy.^[b]
