Saul Prophesies.

In a state of trance, Saul laid down naked, divested of his armor and outer robes. This remarkable event was a demonstration of God's power to turn human wrath into an opportunity for His glory. By doing so, He preserved the lives of all the prophets and thwarted Saul's plans, ultimately protecting His servant as well.
