1 Samuel 9:5-10
5When they cameH935 to the landH776 of 1ZuphH6689, SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantH5288 whoH834 was with him, “ComeH1980, and let’s returnH7725, 2orH6435 elseH6435 my fatherH1 will stopH2308 being concerned aboutH4480 the donkeysH860 and will becomeH1672 anxiousH1672 about us.” 6But he saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009 nowH4994, there is 3a manH376 of GodH430 in thisH2088 cityH5892, and the manH376 is heldH3513 inH3513 honorH3513; 4everythingH3605 that he saysH1696 definitelyH935 comesH935 true. NowH6258 let’s goH1980 thereH8033, 5perhapsH194 he can tellH5046 us about our journeyH1870 on whichH834 we have setH1980 out.” 7Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantH5288, “But lookH2009, if we goH1980, whatH4100 shall we bringH935 the manH376? For the breadH3899 isH235 goneH235 from our sacksH3627 and thereH369 isH369 6noH369 giftH8670 to bringH935 to the manH376 of GodH430. WhatH4100 do we haveH854?” 8The servantH5288 answeredH6030 SaulH7586 againH3254 and saidH559, “LookH2009, I haveH4672 in my handH3027 a fourthH7253 of a shekelH8255 of silverH3701; I will giveH5414 it to the manH376 of GodH430 and he will 7tellH5046 us our wayH1870.” 9(PreviouslyH6440 in IsraelH3478, when a manH376 wentH1980 to inquireH1875 of GodH430, he used to sayH559, “ComeH1980, and let’s goH1980 to the seerH7203”; for he who is called a prophetH5030 nowH3117 was previouslyH6440 calledH7121 8a seerH7203.) 10Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantH5288, “9GoodH2896 ideaH1697; comeH1980, let’s goH1980.” So they wentH1980 to the cityH5892 whereH834H8033 the manH376 of GodH430 was.
