1 Samuel 9:3-10
3And the asses of KishH7027 Saul's fatherH1 were lost; and KishH7027 saidH559 to SaulH7586 his sonH1121, TakeH3947, I pray, oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288 with thee, and ariseH6965, go seekH1245 the asses.
4And he passedH5674 through mount EphraimH669, and passedH5674 through the landH776 of Shalishah, but they foundH4672 [them] not; and they passedH5674 through the landH776 of Shaalim, and they were not there; and they passedH5674 through the landH776 of Benjamin, and they foundH4672 [them] not.
5They had comeH935 to the landH776 of ZuphH6689 whenH834 SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantH5288 that was with him, ComeH935 and let us returnH7725; lestH6435 my fatherH1 give up the asses, and be anxiousH1672 about us.
6And he saidH559 to him, Behold nowH6258, a manH376 of 1GodH430 is in this cityH5892, and the manH376 is held in honour; all that he saysH559 comesH935 surely to pass. Let us nowH6258 goH1980 thither: perhapsH194 he will shew us the wayH1870 that we should goH1980.
7And SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantH5288, But if we goH935, what shall we bringH935 the manH376? for the breadH3899 is spent in our vesselsH3627, and we have no present to give to the manH376 of 2GodH430: what have we?
8And the servantH5288 answered SaulH7586 again and saidH559, Behold, I have hereH2009 at handH3027 the fourthH7253 part of a shekelH8255 of silverH3701; that will I giveH5414 to the manH376 of 3GodH430, to tellH5046 us our wayH1870.
9(In former time in IsraelH3478, when a manH376 went to ask counsel of 4GodH430, he saidH559, Come and let us go to the seer; for he that is now calledH7121 a ProphetH5030 was in former time calledH7121 a Seer.)
10And SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantH5288, Well saidH559: come, let us go. So they went to the cityH5892 whereH834 the manH376 of 5GodH430 was.
