Then said Saul to his servant, well said, etc.] Or “good is thy word” f181, 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.
