1 Samuel 9:10 net — So Saul said to his servant,“That’s a good idea! Come on. Let’s go.” So they went to the town where the man of God was.

So Saul said to his servant,“All right, we can go. But what can we bring the man, since the food in our bags is used up? We have no gift to take to the man of God. What do we have?”

The servant went on to answer Saul,“Look, I happen to have in my hand a quarter shekel of silver. I will give it to the man of God and he will tell us where we should go.”

(Now it used to be in Israel that whenever someone went to inquire of God he would say,“Come on, let’s go to the seer.” For today’s prophet used to be called a seer.)

As they were going up the ascent to the town, they met some girls coming out to draw water. They said to them,“Is this where the seer is?”

They replied,“Yes, straight ahead! But hurry now, for he came to the town today, and the people are making a sacrifice at the high place.

When you enter the town, you can find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people won’t eat until he arrives, for he must bless the sacrifice. Once that happens, those who have been invited will eat. Now go on up, for this is the time when you can find him!”
