6 Le serviteur lui dit: Voici, il y a dans cette ville un homme de Dieu, et c’est un homme considéré; tout ce qu’il dit ne manque pas d’arriver. Allons y donc; peut-être nous fera-t-il connaître le chemin que nous devons prendre.
7 Saül dit à son serviteur: Mais si nous y allons, que porterons-nous à l’homme de Dieu? Car il n’y a plus de provisions dans nos sacs, et nous n’avons aucun présent à offrir à l’homme de Dieu. Qu’est-ce que nous avons?
8 Le serviteur reprit la parole, et dit à Saül: Voici, j’ai sur moi le quart d’un sicle d’argent; je le donnerai à l’homme de Dieu, et il nous indiquera notre chemin.
9 Autrefois en Israël, quand on allait consulter Dieu, on disait: Venez, et allons au voyant! Car celui qu’on appelle aujourd’hui le prophète s’appelait autrefois le voyant.
10 Saül dit à son serviteur: Tu as raison: viens, allons! Et ils se rendirent à la ville où était l’homme de Dieu.
