1 Samuel 9:8-10
New English Translation
8 The servant went on to answer Saul, “Look, I happen to have in my hand a quarter shekel[a] of silver. I will give it to the man of God and he will tell us where we should go.”[b] 9 (Now it used to be in Israel that whenever someone went to inquire of God he would say, “Come on, let’s go to the seer.” For today’s prophet used to be called a seer.) 10 So Saul said to his servant, “That’s a good idea![c] Come on. Let’s go.” So they went to the town where the man of God was.
