⁹ Then the Lord spoke to Gad, David’s seer. This was the message:

¹⁸ I and the children the Lord has given me serve as signs and warnings to Israel from the Lord of Heaven’s Armies who dwells in his Temple on Mount Zion.

¹¹ The next morning the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, who was David’s seer. This was the message:

⁹ (In those days if people wanted a message from God, they would say, “Let’s go and ask the seer,” for prophets used to be called seers.)

“These are the children God has graciously given to me, your servant,” Jacob replied.
