1 Samuel 9:3-10

3Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, had wandered off. So Kish said to his son Saul, “Now take with you one of the servants and arise, go search for the donkeys.” 4So he 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 Benjaminites, 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’s return, 5or else my father will stop being concerned about the donkeys and will become anxious about us.” 6But he said to him, “Behold now, there is 6a man of God in this city, and the man is held in honor; 7everything that he says definitely comes true. Now let’s go there, 8perhaps he can tell us about our journey on which we have set out.” 7Then Saul said to his servant, “But look, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread is gone from our sacks and there is 9no gift to bring to the man of God. What do we have?” 8The servant answered Saul again and said, “Look, 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(Previously in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he used to say, “Come, and let’s go to the seer”; for he who is called a prophet now was previously called 11a seer.) 10Then Saul said to his servant, “12Good idea; come, let’s go.” So they went to the city where the man of God was.
