David escaped and ran away to Samuel at Ramah. David told Samuel everything that Saul had done to him. Then David and Samuel went to the camps {where the prophets stayed}. David stayed there.
Saul heard about this, so he sent other messengers. But they also began prophesying. So Saul sent messengers a third time. And they also began prophesying.
So Saul went out to the camps near Ramah. God’s Spirit also came on Saul, and Saul began prophesying. [171] Saul continued prophesying all the way to the camps at Ramah.
