1 Samuel 9:5-10

5They had come to the land of Zuph when Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come and let us return; lest my father give up the asses, and be anxious about us.

6And he said to him, Behold now, a man of 1God is in this city, and the man is held in honour; all that he says comes surely to pass. Let us now go thither: perhaps he will shew us the way that we should go.

7And Saul said to his servant, But if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and we have no present to give to the man of 2God: what have we?

8And the servant answered Saul again and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver; that will I give to the man of 3God, to tell us our way.

9(In former time in Israel, when a man went to ask counsel of 4God, he said, Come and let us go to the seer; for he that is now called a Prophet was in former time called a Seer.)

10And Saul said to his servant, Well said: come, let us go. So they went to the city where the man of 5God was.
