1 Samuel 9:8-10
New King James Version
8 And the servant answered Saul again and said, “Look, I have here at hand one-fourth of a shekel of silver. I will give that to the man of God, to tell us our way.” 9 (Formerly in Israel, when a man (A)went [a]to inquire of God, he spoke thus: “Come, let us go to the seer”; for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called (B)a seer.)
10 Then Saul said to his servant, [b]“Well said; come, let us go.” So they went to the city where the man of God was.

8 The servant answered him again. “Look,” he said, “I have a quarter of a shekel[a] of silver. I will give it to the man of God so that he will tell us what way to take.” 9 (Formerly in Israel, if someone went to inquire(A) of God, they would say, “Come, let us go to the seer,” because the prophet of today used to be called a seer.)(B)
