Jawab Samuel kepada Saul, katanya: "Akulah pelihat itu. Naiklah mendahului aku ke bukit. Hari ini kamu makan bersama-sama dengan daku; besok pagi aku membiarkan engkau pergi dan aku akan memberitahukan kepadamu segala sesuatu yang ada dalam hatimu.
Maka sahut Semuel kepada Saul: Bahwa aku ini penilik itu; silakanlah naik ke atas tempat yang tinggi itu dahulu dari padaku, karena pada hari ini hendaklah kamu makan sehidangan dengan aku, dan pada esok harilah aku lepaskan kamu pergi; dan segala sesuatu yang dalam hatimupun akan kuberitahu kepadamu.
Contextual Overview
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the seer: The word roaih literally signifies one who sees; particularly preternatural sights. A seer and a prophet were the same in most cases; only with this difference, the seer was always a prophet, but the prophet was not always a seer. A seer seems to imply one who frequently met with and saw some symbolical representation of God. All prophets, true or false, profess to see God - see Numbers 24:4, Numbers 24:16. Jeremiah 14:4, and diviners, in their enthusiastic flights, boasted that they had those things exhibited to their sight which should come to pass.
and will tell: John 4:29, 1 Corinthians 14:25

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer,.... For he supposed, by inquiring for his house, that his business was with him; wherefore this he said, not as boasting of his character and office, or in the pride and vanity of his mind, but merely for information sake:
go up before me unto the high place; instead of returning home with him, he invited him to go to the place of feasting, as the Targum, whither he was going to partake of the entertainment there; and he bids him go before him, either because he was an old man, and could not go his pace, or he had business to do by the way, or this was in honour to Saul, whom he knew was to be king of Israel:
for ye shall eat with me today; he and his servant, at the public feast: he insisted upon his dining, or it may be rather supping with him:
and tomorrow I will let thee go; for it being in the evening when this feast was, he could not depart that night, but must stay till morning, and then he promised to dismiss him:
and will tell thee all that is in thine heart; answer all questions he had in his mind to ask him, for which he came into the city, and inquired for his house. The Jews l have a tradition that it was in the heart of Saul that he should be a king, having in a vision seen himself placed on the top of a palm tree, which was a sign of royalty, and this Samuel told him.
l Hieron. Trad. Heb. in lib. Reg. fol. 75. G.
