Exegesis
The preposition ʿad {עַד־ | ʿad} ‘until’ plus the construct bōʾô {בֹּא֖וֹ | bōʾô} ‘his coming’ sets the temporal limit, and the location is reinforced by repeated bə-nāyōṯ {בנוית | bə-nāyōṯ} and bə-nāyōṯ {בְּנָי֥וֹת | bə-nāyōṯ} ‘in Naioth’ and the final bārāmā {בָּרָמָֽה | bārāmā} ‘Ramah’, framing the spatial setting while rendering Hebrew VSO narrative into English SVO with retained emphasis on motion and divine agency.
In context — 1 Samuel 19:23
Saul went there to Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God was also upon him; and he walked about prophesying until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
