And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?

Verse 24 is found in chapter 19 of 1 Samuel. David flees to Ramah and joins Samuel. When Saul’s messengers arrive to capture him, the Spirit of God comes upon them and they begin prophesying. Saul later experiences the same phenomenon. The account emphasizes that God’s authority can frustrate the king’s plans of persecution. Saul still possesses political power, but cannot control divine action. The scene reconnects David with Samuel and reinforces the prophetic role as a place of protection from royal violence.

Und er zog auch seine Kleider aus und weissagte auch vor Samuel und fiel bloß nieder den ganzen Tag und die ganze Nacht. Daher spricht man: Ist Saul auch unter den Propheten?
Y él también se desnudó sus vestidos, y profetizó igualmente delante de Samuel, y cayó desnudo todo aquel día y toda aquella noche. De aquí se dijo: ¿También Saúl entre los profetas?
También él se quitó la ropa y profetizó delante de Samuel. Permaneció tendido desnudo todo aquel día y toda la noche. Por eso se dice: «¿También Saúl está entre los profetas?».
Il ôta ses vêtements, et il prophétisa aussi devant Samuel; et il se jeta nu par terre tout ce jour-là et toute la nuit. C'est pourquoi l'on dit: Saül est-il aussi parmi les prophètes?
E spogliò anch’egli i suoi vestimenti, e profetizzò anch’egli nella presenza di Samuele, e giacque in terra così spogliato tutto quel giorno, e tutta quella notte. Perciò si disse: È Saulle anch’egli fra i profeti?
E ele também despiu as suas vestes, e profetizou diante de Samuel, e esteve nu por terra todo aquele dia e toda aquela noite; por isso se diz: Está também Saul entre os profetas?
他也脫了衣服,也在 撒母耳 面前受感說話,一日一夜赤身躺臥。因此有人說:「 掃羅 也在先知中嗎?」
