1 Samuel 9:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Then said Saul to his servant, Well then, let us go: but what shall we bring unto the man? For the [a]bread is spent in our vessels, and there is no present to bring to the man of God: what have we?
8 And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have found about me the fourth part of a [b]shekel of silver: that will I give the man of God, to tell us our way.
9 (Beforetime in Israel when a man went to seek an answer of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the [c]Seer: for he that is called now a Prophet, was in the old time called a Seer)
