Easton's Bible Dictionary: Seer
<< Secundus
Seer
Seethe >>
A name sometimes applied to the prophets because of the visions granted to them. It is first found in
1 Samuel 9:9
. It is afterwards applied to Zadok, Gad, etc. (
2 Samuel 15:27
;
24:11
;
1 Chronicles 9:22
;
25:5
;
2 Chronicles 9:29
;
Amos 7:12
;
Micah 3:7
). The "sayings of the seers" (
2 Chronicles 33:18
, 19) is rendered in the Revised Version "the history of Hozai" (marg., the seers; so the LXX.), of whom, however, nothing is known. (see
PROPHET
.)
