1 Samuel 9:11 Context
9(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spake; Come, and let vs go to the Seer: for he that is now called a Prophet, was beforetime called a Seer.) 10Then said Saul to his seruant, Wel said, come, let vs go: so they went vnto the city where the man of God was. 11¶ And as they went vp the hill to the city, they found yong maydens going out to draw water, and said vnto them, Is the Seer here? 12And they answered them, and said, He is: behold, he is before you, make haste now: for he came to day to the citie; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the hie place. 13Assoone as ye be come into the citie, ye shall straightway finde him, before he goe vp to the high place to eate: for the people will not eate vntill hee come, because he doth blesse the sacrifice, and afterwards they eat that be bidden: Now therefore get you vp, for about this time ye shall finde him.
