ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૯:૭
ત્યારે શાઉલે પોતાના ચાકરને કહ્યું, “પણ જો આપણે જઈએ, તો તે માણસને માટે આપણે શું લઈ જઈશું? કેમ કે આપણા પાત્રોમાં રોટલી થઈ રહી છે અને ત્યાં ઈશ્વરના માણસને ભેટ આપવા માટે કશું રહ્યું નથી. આપણી પાસે બીજું શું છે?”
हिन्दी1 शमूएल ९:७
शाऊल ने अपने सेवक से कहा, “सुन, यदि हम उस पुरुष के पास चलें तो उसके लिये क्या ले चलें? देख, हमारी थैलियों में की रोटी चुक गई है और भेंट के योग्य कोई वस्तु है ही नहीं, जो हम परमेश्वर के उस जन को दें। हमारे पास क्या है?”

In context

5When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, “Come! Let’s return, lest my father stop caring about the donkeys and be anxious for us.”

6The servant said to him, “Behold now, there is a man of God in this city, and he is a man who is held in honor. All that he says surely happens. Now let’s go there. Perhaps he can tell us which way to go.”

7Then Saul said to his servant, “But behold, if we go, what should we bring the man? For the bread is spent in our sacks, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?”

8The servant answered Saul again and said, “Behold, I have in my hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver. I will give that to the man of God, to tell us our way.”

9(In earlier times in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he said, “Come! Let’s go to the seer;” for he who is now called a prophet was before called a seer.)
