Contextual Overview
3 And the donkeys of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the attendants with you, and arise, go seek the donkeys. 4 And he passed through the hill-country of Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they didn't find them: then they passed through the land of Shaalim, and they were not there: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they didn't find them. 5 When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his attendant that was with him, Come, and let us return, or else my father will leave off caring for the donkeys, and be anxious for us. 6 And he said to him, Look now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is a man that is held in honor; all that he says surely comes to pass: now let us go there; perhaps he can tell us concerning our journey whereon we go. 7 Then Saul said to his attendant, But, look, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what do we have? 8 And the attendant answered Saul again, and said, Look, 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 (Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he said, Come, and let us go to the seer; for he that is now called a Prophet was formerly called a Seer.) 10 Then said Saul to his attendant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went to the city where the man of God was.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then said Saul to his servant, well said,.... Or "good is thy word" d, thou hast well spoken; it is a good proposal thou hast made, and thou art very generous to give all thou hast to the man; and very promising it is, that since he is a seer he may inform us where the asses are, or which way we must take to find them. Things look feasible enough:
come, let us go: to the city, and to the man of God there, and hear what he will say to us, and what information he will give us:
so they went unto the city where the man of God [was]; to Ramah, where Samuel dwelt.
