## 1 Samuel 9:9-10 in Context (Verses 6–13 KJV)
 
 [6 ](/kjv/1-samuel/9/6) And he said unto him, Behold now, *there is* in this city a man of God, and *he is* an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/1-samuel/9/7) Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, *if* we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and *there is* not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?**
 
 [8 ](/kjv/1-samuel/9/8) And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: *that* will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/1-samuel/9/9) (Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for *he that is* now *called* a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)
 
 [10 ](/kjv/1-samuel/9/10) Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God *was*.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/1-samuel/9/11) ¶ *And* as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/1-samuel/9/12) And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, *he is* before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for *there is* a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:*
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-samuel/9/13) As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; *and* afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.*
