1 Samuel 9:6-9
6“LookH2009H4994,” said the servantH559, “in thisH2063 cityH5892 there is a manH376 of GodH430 whoH376 is highly respectedH3513; everythingH3605 he saysH1696 surely comes to passH935. Let us goH1980 thereH8033 nowH6258. PerhapsH194 he will tellH5046 us whichH834 wayH1870 to goH1980H5921.”
7“IfH2009 we do goH1980,” SaulH7586 repliedH559, “whatH4100 can we giveH935 the manH376? ForH3588 the breadH3899 in our packsH3627 is goneH235, and there is noH369 giftH8670 to takeH935 to the manH376 of GodH430. WhatH4100 do we haveH854?”
8The servantH5288 answeredH6030 him againH3254. “LookH2009,” he saidH559, “I have hereH4672 in my handH3027 a quarterH7253 shekelH8255 of silverH3701.1 I will giveH5414 it to the manH376 of GodH430, and he will tellH5046 us our wayH1870.”
9(FormerlyH6440 in IsraelH3478H3541, a manH376 on his wayH1980 to inquireH1875 of GodH430 would sayH559, “ComeH1980, let us goH1980 toH5704 the seerH7203.” ForH3588 the prophetH5030 of todayH3117 was formerlyH6440 calledH7121 the seerH7203.)
