1 Samuel 9:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ Then Saul said to his young man, “If we go, what should we bring for the man? Look, the bread in our bags is used up, and we do not have a gift to bring to the man of God. What do we have with us?”

⁸ The young man responded to Saul, “Look here. I have a quarter of a shekel^[a] of silver in my hand. I will give that to the man of God to tell us which way we should go.”

⁹ (In earlier times in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he would say, “Come, let’s go to the seer,” because the man who is now called a prophet used to be called a seer.)
