1 Samuel 19:23
So Saul went to Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even on him, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth.

Saul's heart was set on killing David simply because of an evil spirit within him. Neither of these reasons are enough to keep the Holy Spirit from doing a great work within him. God can do a great work in our lives, whether we allow Him to or not. I believe He will do greater things yet, though, if we are willing servants.

This is an interesting chapter of how the Spirit of God came upon Saul's men and Saul himself to act like prophets that made them incapable to carry out their evil act of killing David. This was not the normal way the Spirit of God works, this time it saved the life of His servant David.

For sure an interesting chapter Peter, and surely as you have stated, spared the life of David, who could so easily have killed Saul in the number of times he attempted to spear him. It surely shows how David chose to go the way of the Lord with grace and mercy. Cheers and blessings, brother Peter. Still praying for your president with all the attacks against him. :-)

Saul set out with ill intentions and the spirit of God came over him and changed him. The power of God is so awesome!

This verse showed how powerful the Spirit of God is. Saul was filled with an evil spirit and was determined to kill David. He went to Naioth where David and Samuel were. But when he was there, the Spirit of God came upon him and he could not do anything but prophesy. God will go out of His way or even perform miraculous signs if necessary to rescue us. God will rescue his children, all we have to do is trust and never lose faith in him.

This hard to understand why the Spirit of God caused even David's enemies (Saul and his men) to begin prophesying and why Saul stripped off his clothes. I guess this prevented them all from harming David (and Samuel) when they arrived. Kind of a funny way of doing it. His ways are not our ways.

Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
This whole story is rather strange to this point, Allan. Guess it shows that the Lord is able to cause whatever He wants to happen. Perhaps a good thing to remember in these current troubling days. I have to believe God is going to do some amazing things to turn the world around from the disastrous course it's on right now.

i had a hard time with this also. i figured the first time that Saul prophesied was to show the people that God had truly picked Saul as King. But this time, makes that time seem wrong (to me). i researched it and found NOTHING, NOT ONE THING. The only thing i can think of is the theme (to me) is man looking on the outward appearance and God looking at the heart. With that in mind in Matthew 7 Jesus says, "not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not PROPHESY in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles? then i (Jesus) will tell them plainly, I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers." ...therefore (to me) God is saying the same thing... don't look at a man's height or if he can do miracles, you can only judge by the heart and only God knows the heart.
