1 Samuel 9:7-9
English Standard Version
7 Then Saul said to his servant, “But if we go, (A)what can we bring the man? For the bread in our sacks is gone, and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?” 8 The servant answered Saul again, “Here, I have with me a quarter of a shekel[a] of silver, and I will give it to the man of God to tell us our way.” 9 (Formerly in Israel, when a man (B)went to inquire of God, he said, “Come, let us go to the seer,” for today's “prophet” was formerly called a seer.)
