1 Samuel 9:3-10

3καὶ ἀπώλοντο αἱ ὄνοι Κις πατρὸς Σαουλ, καὶ εἶπεν Κις πρὸς Σαουλ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ Λαβὲ μετὰ σεαυτοῦ ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων καὶ ἀνάστητε καὶ πορεύθητε καὶ ζητήσατε τὰς ὄνους.

4καὶ διῆλθον δι ὄρους Εφραιμ καὶ διῆλθον διὰ τῆς γῆς Σελχα καὶ οὐχ εὗρον· καὶ διῆλθον διὰ τῆς γῆς Εασακεμ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν· καὶ διῆλθον διὰ τῆς γῆς Ιακιμ καὶ οὐχ εὗρον.

5αὐτῶν ἐλθόντων εἰς τὴν Σιφ καὶ Σαουλ εἶπεν τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ μετ αὐτοῦ Δεῦρο καὶ ἀναστρέψωμεν, μὴ ἀνεὶς ὁ πατήρ μου τὰς ὄνους φροντίζῃ περὶ ἡμῶν.

6καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ τὸ παιδάριον Ἰδοὺ δὴ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἔνδοξος, πᾶν, ὃ ἐὰν λαλήσῃ, παραγινόμενον παρέσται· καὶ νῦν πορευθῶμεν, ὅπως ἀπαγγείλῃ ἡμῖν τὴν ὁδὸν ἡμῶν, ἐφ ἣν ἐπορεύθημεν ἐπ αὐτήν.

7καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ μετ αὐτοῦ Καὶ ἰδοὺ πορευσόμεθα, καὶ τί οἴσομεν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ θεοῦ ; ὅτι οἱ ἄρτοι ἐκλελοίπασιν ἐκ τῶν ἀγγείων ἡμῶν, καὶ πλεῖον οὐκ ἔστιν μεθ ἡμῶν εἰσενεγκεῖν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ θεοῦ τὸ ὑπάρχον ἡμῖν.

8καὶ προσέθετο τὸ παιδάριον ἀποκριθῆναι τῷ Σαουλ καὶ εἶπεν Ἰδοὺ εὕρηται ἐν τῇ χειρί μου τέταρτον σίκλου ἀργυρίου, καὶ δώσεις τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ἀπαγγελεῖ ἡμῖν τὴν ὁδὸν ἡμῶν.

9καὶ ἔμπροσθεν ἐν Ισραηλ τάδε ἔλεγεν ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι ἐπερωτᾶν τὸν θεόν Δεῦρο πορευθῶμεν πρὸς τὸν βλέποντα· ὅτι τὸν προφήτην ἐκάλει ὁ λαὸς ἔμπροσθεν Ὁ βλέπων.

10καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ πρὸς τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ Ἀγαθὸν τὸ ῥῆμα, δεῦρο καὶ πορευθῶμεν. καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, οὗ ἦν ἐκεῖ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ.
