1 Samuel 9:8-11

Living Bible

⁸ “Well,” the servant said, “I have a dollar! We can at least offer it to him and see what happens!”

^9-11 “All right,” Saul agreed, “let’s try it!”

So they started into the city where the prophet lived. As they were climbing a hill toward the city, they saw some young girls going out to draw water and asked them if they knew whether the seer was in town. (In those days prophets were called seers. “Let’s go and ask the seer,” people would say, rather than, “Let’s go and ask the prophet,” as we would say now.)
