The expression the Spirit of the LORD will rush upon (someone) appears only in Judges 1:1 and 1 Samuel 1:1, ending with David (Judges 14:6, Judges 14:19; Judges 15:14; 1 Samuel 10:10; 1 Samuel 11:6; 1 Samuel 16:13). It always speaks of God’s Spirit coming suddenly on someone to equip and empower that person to serve God’s people. be turned into another man. He will be equipped to play a new role (see Judges 6:34; Judges 11:29).
