For the bread is gone from our vessels, and there is no present to bring to the man of God: what do we have? 8 And the servant answered Saul again and said, Behold, I have here at hand a fourth part of a shekel of silver: I will give that to the man of God, to tell us our way. 9 (Previously in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he said thus, Come, let us go to the seer: for he who is now called a Prophet was previously called a Seer.) 10 Then Saul said to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was.
