Who would have guessed?!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
When they came thither to the hill,.... Or, to Gibeah, as the Targum, and so Josephus e:
behold, a company of prophets met him; as foretold, 1 Samuel 10:5,
and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he prophesied among them; the spirit of prophecy, as the Targum, and he sung praises among them; he joined with them in their psalmody, and performed it as regularly as if he had been brought up with them. The Jews say f he prophesied of the world to come, of Gog and Magog, and of the rewards of the righteous, and of the punishment of the wicked.
