09:009:002 And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and
           a goodly:  and there was not among the children of Israel a
           goodlier person than he:  from his shoulders and upward he was
           higher than any of the people.

09:009:003 And the asses of Kish Saul’s father were lost.  And Kish said
           to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and
           arise, go seek the asses.

09:009:004 And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the
           land of Shalisha, but they found them not:  then they passed
           through the land of Shalim, and there they were not:  and he
           passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them
           not.

09:009:005 And when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his
           servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my
           father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us.

09:009:006 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.

09:009:007 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?

09:009:008 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.

09:009:009 (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.)

09:009:010 Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go.  So
           they went unto the city where the man of God was.

09:009:011 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?

09:009:012 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: 

09:009:013 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.
