6 And he said to him, “Look now, there is in this city aa man of God, and he is an honorable man; ball that he says surely comes to pass. So let us go there; perhaps he can show us the way that we should go.”  
7 Then Saul said to his servant, “But look, if we go, awhat shall we bring the man? For the bread in our vessels is all gone, and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?”
