1 Samuel 9:6-8

6And he saidH559 unto him, Behold now, there is in this cityH5892 a manH376 of GodH430, and he is an honourableH3513 manH376; all that he saithH1696 comethH935 surely to passH935: now let us goH3212 thither; peradventure he can shewH5046 us our wayH1870 that we should goH1980.

7Then saidH559 SaulH7586 to his servantH5288, But, behold, if we goH3212, what shall we bringH935 the manH376? for the breadH3899 is spentH235 in our vesselsH3627, and there is not a presentH8670 to bringH935 to the manH376 of GodH430: what have we?1 2

8And the servantH5288 answeredH6030 SaulH7586 againH3254, and saidH559, Behold, I haveH4672 here at handH3027 the fourth partH7253 of a shekelH8255 of silverH3701: that will I giveH5414 to the manH376 of GodH430, to tellH5046 us our wayH1870.3
