This man was anointed as king and prophet by Samuel; and someone saw him and said "So Saul [is] amongst prophets?" And this saying became proverbial, for in seeking his lost donkeys he found a kingdom.
Greek Original:
Σαοὺλ ἐν προφήταις: οὗτος ἐχρίσθη ὑπὸ Σαμουὴλ εἰς βασιλέα καὶ προφήτην: καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτόν τις ἔφη: καὶ Σαοὺλ ἐν προφήταις; καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ λόγος οὗτος εἰς παραβολήν. τὰς γὰρ ὄνους τὰς ἀπολωλυίας ζητῶν βασιλείαν εὗρε.
Notes:
I Samuel 9-10. For Saul see also sigma 96, sigma 98.
The headword phrase is often quoted by Christian writers; and see also Appendix Proverbiorum 4.67.
