7Saul said to his servant, “If we go, what can we give the man? The food in our sacks is gone. We have no gift to take to the man of God. What do we have?” 8The servant answered him again. “Look,” he said, “I have a quarter of a shekel That is, about 1/10 ounce or about 3 grams 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 of God, they would say, “Come, let us go to the seer,” because the prophet of today used to be called a seer.)

10“Good,” Saul said to his servant. “Come, let’s go.” So they set out for the town where the man of God was.
