1 Samuel 9:6-10 ▼

6 The servant responded, |There's a man of God in this city, a highly respected man. Everything he says is sure to happen. Let's go there. Maybe he'll tell us which way we should go.|

7 |If we go,| Saul asked his servant, |what could we bring the man since the food in our sacks is gone? There's no present we can bring the man of God. What do we have?|

8 The servant again answered Saul, |Look, here! I have one-tenth of an ounce of silver. I'll give it to the man of God. Then he'll tell us where to find the donkeys.|

9 (Formerly in Israel, when a person went to ask God [a question], he would say, |Come, let's go to the seer,| because a person we now call a prophet used to be called a seer.)

10 Saul told his servant, |That's a good idea! Come on, let's go.| They went to the city where the man of God was.
