3 Then you will go on further from there, and you will come as far as the (a)(A)oak of Tabor, and there three men going up (B)to God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a jug of wine; 4 and they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from their hand. 5 Afterward you will come to (b)(C)the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is; and it shall be as soon as you have come there to the city, that you will meet (D)a group of prophets coming down from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and a lyre before them, and (E)they will be prophesying. 6 Then (F)the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you mightily, and (G)you shall prophesy with them and be changed into another man. 7 It shall be when these signs come to you, (H)do for yourself what (c)the occasion requires, for (I)God is with you.
