It happened, when all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
The high place referred to in 1 Samuel 10:13 is probably the same one mentioned earlier (1 Samuel 10:5; 1 Samuel 10:10), namely, Geba. Geba was only four miles from Saul’s hometown, Gibeah (lit. hill). Saul’s uncle may have been Ner, the father of Abner (1 Samuel 14:50-51), or some other uncle. [Note: See D. R. Ap-Thomas, "Saul’s ’Uncle’," Vetus Testamentum 11 (1961):241-45.]
