1 SAMUEL—NOTE ON 1 Samuel 9:3 Saul’s father sends him in search of some lost donkeys. Just as Saul is about to give up the search, God intervenes through Saul’s servant. The servant suggests that they inquire of a local man of God (that is, a “seer”; v. 1 Samuel 9:9). The servant just happens to have some silver with him, which would provide the customary present for the seer (compare 1 Kings 14:3; 2 Kings 8:8).
