Then they went through the land of Shaalim, but the donkeys were not there. They passed through the territory of Benjamin, but they still did not find them. 5 When they reached the region of Zuph, Saul said to the servant with him, "Come, let’s go back, or else my father will stop worrying about the donkeys and start worrying about us." 6 But the servant replied, "Look, there is a man of God in this town, and he is highly respected. Everything he says comes true. Let’s go there now; perhaps he can tell us the way to go." 7 Saul said to his servant, "If we go, what can we give the man? The bread in our bags is gone, and we have no gift to bring to the man of God. What do we have?" 8 The servant answered Saul again, "Look, I have a quarter of a shekel of silver. I will give it to the man of God so that he will tell us what way to go." 9 (Formerly in Israel, when people went to inquire of God, they would say, "Come, let us go to the seer," because the prophet of today used to be called a seer.) 10 Saul said to his servant, "Good idea. Let’s go." So they set out for the town where the man of God was.
