1 Samuel 9:19 (King James Version)
And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart.
- 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 ,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
