And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What [is] this [that] is come unto the son of Kish? [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
Ver. 11. What is this that is come unto the son of Kish?] Whence hath he all these things? as they said of our Saviour: Mat 13:56 and as much wondering there was at Saul the persecutor, when he turned preacher. Act 9:21
“ Tertius e caelo cecidit Cato. ” Juvenal.
Is Saul also among the prophets?] This became a like proverb among the Hebrews, as those among the Latins, Anser inter olores, Asians inter apes, Corvus inter Musas.
