"And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah." — 1 Samuel 19:23 (ASV)
And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah
He went on from the well towards the place:
and the Spirit of God was upon him also ;
as well as upon his messengers; even the spirit of prophecy, as the Targum:
and he went on and prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah :
in this he differed from his messengers; they did not prophesy till they came to that place, but Saul began to prophesy before he came thither, as he was in his way from the well to it.
