BrLXX Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἰδοὺ πορευσόμεθα· καὶ τί οἴσομεν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ; ὅτι οἱ ἄρτοι ἐκλελοίπασιν ἐκ τῶν ἀγγείων ἡμῶν, καὶ πλεῖον οὐκ ἔστι μεθʼ ἡμῶν εἰσενεγκεῖν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸ ὑπάρχον ἡμῖν.
(Kai eipe Saʼoul tōi paidariōi autou tōi metʼ autou, kai idou poreusometha; kai ti oisomen tōi anthrōpōi tou Theou; hoti hoi artoi ekleloipasin ek tōn angeiōn haʸmōn, kai pleion ouk esti methʼ haʸmōn eisenegkein tōi anthrōpōi tou Theou to huparⱪon haʸmin.)
9:7 anything to offer him: Evidently, it was customary to take a gift when one sought the help of a prophet (cp. 1 Kgs 14:2-3; 2 Kgs 5:5, 15; 8:8). Some false prophets demanded gifts in return for their services (Mic 3:11). Saul’s concern might reflect the spiritual ignorance of thinking that advice from a prophet of God could be purchased (Acts 8:20).
