Evangelical Heritage Version
1 Samuel 9:8-10
Evangelical Heritage Version
8 The young man responded to Saul, “Look here. I have a quarter of a shekel[a] of silver in my hand. I will give that to the man of God to tell us which way we should go.”
9 (In earlier times in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he would say, “Come, let’s go to the seer,” because the man who is now called a prophet used to be called a seer.)
10 So Saul said to his servant, “Good advice. Come on! Let’s go!” So they went to the city where the man of God was.
