1 Samuel 9:3-10

3Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. So Kish said to his son Saul, “Take now with you one of the servants, and arise, go search for the donkeys.” 4He passed through 1the hill country of Ephraim and passed through the land of 2Shalishah, but they did not find them. Then they passed through the land of 3Shaalim, but they were not there. Then he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not find them.

5When they came to the land of 4Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, “Come, and let us return, 5or else my father will cease to be concerned about the donkeys and will become anxious for us.” 6He said to him, “Behold now, there is 6a man of God in this city, and the man is held in honor; 7all that he says surely comes true. Now let us go there, 8perhaps he can tell us about our journey on which we have set out.” 7Then Saul said to his servant, “But behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread is gone from our sack and there is 9no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?” 8The servant answered Saul again and said, “Behold, I have in my hand a fourth of a shekel of silver; I will give it to the man of God and he will 10tell us our way.” 9(Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he used to say, “Come, and let us go to the seer”; for he who is called a prophet now was formerly called 11a seer.) 10Then Saul said to his servant, “Well said; come, let us go.” So they went to the city where the man of God was.
