1 Samuel 9:4-6
The Voice
4 They traveled through the hill country of Ephraim, through the land of Shalishah, and through the land of Shaalim, but they did not find them. Then they passed through the land of Benjamin, and still they did not see the donkeys.
5 At last, when they came to Zuph, Saul told the servant who accompanied him,
Saul: We had better turn around. If we keep going, my father will stop worrying about his donkeys and start worrying about us.
Servant: 6 I hear there is a man of God in this village, a man who is respected because what he predicts is always true. Before we go home, let’s go and talk to him; maybe he will have some guidance about this journey we have begun.

1 Samuel 9:4-6
New International Version
4 So he passed through the hill(A) country of Ephraim and through the area around Shalisha,(B) but they did not find them. They went on into the district of Shaalim, but the donkeys(C) were not there. Then he passed through the territory of Benjamin, but they did not find them.
5 When they reached the district of Zuph,(D) Saul said to the servant who was with him, “Come, let’s go back, or my father will stop thinking about the donkeys and start worrying(E) about us.”
6 But the servant replied, “Look, in this town there is a man of God;(F) he is highly respected, and everything(G) he says comes true. Let’s go there now. Perhaps he will tell us what way to take.”
