What does the phrase “Saul is also among the prophets” mean literaly and in context? Is Saul the bible character, as I guess?

Yes, it is a Biblical reference.
This exclamation, which came from the people when the young man Saul, newly anointed as King of Israel, was found amongst a company of prophets, revealed that he was not known as one who would normally have been in such company.

That’s interesting.
Sorry for “bible”. Of course, Bible.

Thanks, Beeesneees!
