1 Samuel 9:3-10

3And the donkeysH860 of KishH7027 Saul’sH7586 fatherH1 were lostH6. And KishH7027 saidH559 to SaulH7586 his sonH1121, TakeH3947 now oneH259 of the servantsH5288 with thee, and ariseH6965, goH3212 seekH1245 the donkeysH860. 4And he passed throughH5674 mountH2022 EphraimH669, and passed throughH5674 the landH776 of ShalishaH8031, but they foundH4672 them not: then they passed throughH5674 the landH776 of ShalimH8171, and there they were not: and he passed throughH5674 the landH776 of the BenjamitesH1145, but they foundH4672 them not. 5And when they had comeH935 to the landH776 of ZuphH6689, SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantH5288 that was with him, ComeH3212, and let us returnH7725; lest my fatherH1 stopH2308 caring for the donkeysH860, and be troubledH1672 for us. 6And he saidH559 to 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 there; perhaps he can showH5046 us our wayH1870 that we should goH1980. 7Then saidH559 SaulH7586 to his servantH5288, But, behold, if we goH3212, what shall we bringH935 to 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?12 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 9(In times pastH6440 in IsraelH3478, when a manH376 wentH3212 to enquireH1875 of GodH430, thus he spokeH559, ComeH3212, and let us goH3212 to the seerH7200: for he that is nowH3117 called a ProphetH5030 was in times pastH6440 calledH7121 a SeerH7200.) 10Then saidH1697 SaulH7586 to his servantH5288, WellH2896 saidH559; comeH3212, let us goH3212.
