1 Samuel 9:8-11

Good News Translation

⁸ The servant answered, “I have a small silver coin. I can give him that, and then he will tell us where we can find them.”

^9-11 Saul replied, “A good idea! Let's go.” So they went to the town where the holy man lived. As they were going up the hill to the town, they met some young women who were coming out to draw water. They asked these women, “Is the seer in town?”

(At that time a prophet was called a seer, and so whenever someone wanted to ask God a question, he would say, “Let's go to the seer.”)
