1 Samuel 9:8-16

8And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.1 9(In times past in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spoke, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was in times past called a Seer.) 10Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went to the city where the man of God was .2

11And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said to them, Is the seer here?3 12And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:4 13As soon as ye shall enter the city, ye shall immediately find him, before he goeth up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he cometh, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that are invited. Now therefore go up; for about this time ye shall find him.5 14And they went up into the city: and when they had come into the city, behold, Samuel came out meeting them, to go up to the high place. 15Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,6 16To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people from the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry hast come to me.
