1 Samuel 9:4-6
Young's Literal Translation
4 And he passeth over through the hill-country of Ephraim, and passeth over through the land of Shalisha, and they have not found; and they pass over through the land of Shaalim, and they are not; and he passeth over through the land of Benjamin, and they have not found.
5 They have come in unto the land of Zuph, and Saul hath said to his young man who [is] with him, `Come, and we turn back, lest my father leave off from the asses, and hath been sorrowful for us.'
6 And he saith to him, `Lo, I pray thee, a man of God [is] in this city, and the man is honoured; all that he speaketh doth certainly come; now, we go there, it may be he doth declare to us our way on which we have gone.'

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.”
