1 Samuel 10:9-16 (HCSB)
9 When Saul turned around to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all the signs came about that day. 10 When Saul and his attendant arrived at Gibeah, a group of prophets met him. Then the Spirit of God took control of him, and he prophesied along with them. 11 Everyone who knew him previously and saw him prophesy with the prophets asked each other, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?” 12 Then a man who was from there asked, “And who is their father?” As a result, “Is Saul also among the prophets?” became a popular saying. 13 Then Saul finished prophesying and went to the high place. 14 Saul’s uncle asked him and his attendant, “Where did you go?” “To look for the donkeys,” Saul answered. “When we saw they weren’t there, we went to Samuel.” 15 “Tell me,” Saul’s uncle asked, “what did Samuel say to you?” 16 Saul told him, “He assured us the donkeys had been found.” However, Saul did not tell him what Samuel had said about the matter of kingship.

As all the signs were fulfilled, God changed Saul’s heart. It’s interesting that this happens as Saul and Samuel part ways. Samuel couldn’t give Saul a new heart, only the spirit of the Lord could do that. Thus, He waits until Samuel had left to change his heart or “give him the new heart”. God wanted Saul to honor and respect Samuel but NEVER look to him in place of the Lord. It’s also interesting that Saul hides his experience from his uncle. He only tells him he went to look for the donkeys. PERHAPS he was being wise, knowing the Lord had to reveal him as king of Israel in His time.
