Your proposal that this Scripture has anything to do with the imparting of the Holy Spirit to be within a person is simply begging the question. Nowhere, ever, in the annals of Old Testament Scripture, is it ever said that the Holy Spirit in any human descendant of Adam, whose Original Sin had not been cancelled, only covered by the blood of others than Jesus.

This was first promised by the Savior, at the table if the Last Supper, and had not yet happened even when they had partaken of the symbols of His substitutionary death.

"If ye love me, keep my commandments.
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another1 Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:
but ye know him; for he dwelleth with2 you, and shall be in3 you" (Jn. 14:17 AV).

======

Notes:
1 = αλλον (allon) = another of the same kind (The Holy Scriptures are also a comforter, Rom 15:4)
2 = As long as the baptized Jesus was with them, The Holy Spirit Who was accompanying Him was also with them, in the external sense, though invisible. On His ascension, The JHoly Spirit went with Him back into Heaven to witness the propitiation of the Mighty God, thus accrediting the Shed Blood as the only acceptible ransome price for the payment for the Sin and sins of the willing and totally committed believer, so that the eyewitness of the conclusion of the atonement transaction could then return and cohabit with the New Spiritual Human in the Old Man's husk of a body, able to transform its mind and habits, which is to be the human's reasonable service and spiritual worship.
3 = The return of The Holy Ghost was to occur on the Day of the Pentecost, on which the occupation of the Holy Spirit in a human beings (outside of that of John Baptist at conception) was conferred, without physical application of unguent substance.

=======

It would seem to me that anyone truly saved, having chosen to be an abode of the Holy Ghost, would already jnow these things.

Are you a Spirit-born possession and servannt of The Son, AFV?

Post 488 claiming "There as no report there in the Scripture of the Holy Spirit being anywhere near Saul" is false.

Not only that, the scripture said Saul would be "turned into another man" after the Spirit of the LORD came upon him.

Without doubt all that preceded looked forward to Messiah, and all that followed look towards Him at the right hand of the Father, from whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will have no end.
