1 Samuel 9:6-9
6He saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009 nowH4994, there is 1a manH376 of GodH430 in thisH2088 cityH5892, and the manH376 is heldH3513 in honorH3513; 2allH3605 that he saysH1696 surelyH935 comesH935 true. NowH6258 let us goH1980 thereH8033, 3perhapsH194 he can tellH5046 us about our journeyH1870 on whichH834 we have setH1980 out.”
7Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantH5288, “But beholdH2009, if we goH1980, whatH4100 shall we bringH935 the manH376? For the breadH3899 is goneH235 from our sackH3627 and thereH369 is 4noH369 presentH8670 to bringH935 to the manH376 of GodH430. WhatH4100 do we haveH854?”
8The servantH5288 answeredH6030 SaulH7586 againH3254 and saidH559, “BeholdH2009, I haveH4672 in my handH3027 a fourthH7253 of a shekelH8255 of silverH3701; I will giveH5414 it to the manH376 of GodH430 and he will 5tellH5046 us our wayH1870.”
9(FormerlyH6440 in IsraelH3478, when a manH376 wentH1980 to inquireH1875 of GodH430, he used to sayH559, “ComeH1980, and let us goH1980 to the seerH7203”; for he who is called a prophetH5030 nowH3117 was formerlyH6440 calledH7121 6a seerH7203.)
