Where is the School of the Prophets first mentioned in the Bible?

The concept of a group of Prophets or school of prophets is embedded deep within the world of the old testament though at many times they may be referred to as "wise men" or counselor's. It was custom of the period in which they lived that kings / rulers would have a group of "prophets" for want of a better word who they would seek to advise them on matters of state and religion through out the bible we see this all over the place the first one I could find was in 1 Samuel 10:10 which says When they arrived at Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him; the Spirit of God came upon him in power, and he joined in their prophesying we also see in story's of Daniel whilst in exile and of moses during the exodus that both the king Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon and the Pharaoh of Egypt in the exodus had "adviser's" or prophets whom they sort.

Colleges, "schools of the prophets", were instituted for the training of prophets, who were constituted, a distinct order (1 Sam. 19:18-24; 2 Kings 2:3, 15; 4:38), which continued to the close of the Old Testament. Such “schools” were established at Ramah, Bethel, Gilgal, Gibeah, and Jericho.

The “sons” or “disciples” of the prophets were young men (2 Kings 5:22; 9:1, 4) who lived together at these different “schools” (4:38-41). In New Testament times the prophetical office was continued. Our Lord is frequently spoken of as a prophet (Luke 13:33; 24:19).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
