the coming of the Spirit upon the person.
It draws from the Old and New Testaments.

their work would be worthy of the God’s House.

someone behave…in an extraordinary way.
Saul here was anointed to be King and the Spirit came upon him.
Wed. Sept. 14-2 Kings 2: 1-12 The Spirit of God was upon God’s prophets, as
illustrated by Elijah and Elisha, perhaps the two most powerful prophets in God’s
service.

This is the story of the baptism of Jesus, where the Spirit comes upon
Him in the form of a dove.
