    10 Then Saul said to his servant, "Well said. Come, let us go." So they went to the city where the man of God was.

    11 As they went up the ascent to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said to them, "Is the seer here?"

    12 They answered them, and said, "He is. Behold, he is before you. Hurry now, for he has come today into the city; for the people have a sacrifice today in the high place.

    13 As soon as you have come into the city, you shall immediately find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat until he come, because he blesses the sacrifice. Afterwards those who are invited eat. Now therefore go up; for at this time you shall find him."

    14 They went up to the city; [and] as they came within the city, behold, Samuel came out toward them, to go up to the high place.

    15 Now Yahweh had revealed to Samuel a day before Saul came, saying,

    16 "Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel; and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked on my people, because their cry has come to me."

    17 When Samuel saw Saul, Yahweh said to him, "Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you! this same shall have authority over my people."

    18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, "Please tell me where the seer's house is."

    19 Samuel answered Saul, and said, "I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today. In the morning I will let you go, and will tell you all that is in your heart.

    7 Then Saul said to his servant, "But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?"

    8 The servant answered Saul again, and said, "Behold, I have in my hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver. I will give that to the man of God, to tell us our way."
