18 Now David was saved by fleeing, and he went to Samuel in Ramah. And he reported to him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went away and stayed at Naioth.
19 Then it was reported to Saul by some, saying, 'Behold, David is at Naioth, in Ramah.'
20 Therefore, Saul sent officers to seize David. And when they had seen a company of prophets prophesying, with Samuel presiding over them, the Spirit of the Lord also came to them, and they also began to prophesy.
21 And when this was reported to Saul, he sent other messengers. But they also prophesied. And again, Saul sent messengers a third time. And they also prophesied. And Saul, being exceedingly angry,
22 also went to Ramah himself. And he went as far as the great cistern, which is in Socoh. And he inquired and said, 'In which place are Samuel and David?' And it was told to him, 'Behold, they are at Naioth, in Ramah.'
