1 Chronicles 21:9

Gad, David's seer . The parallel place says, "The Prophet Gad ( הֲנָּבִיא ), David's seer" ( 2 Samuel 24:11 ). The Hebrew word here used in both passages for "seer," is חֹזֶה , in place of the word of higher import, הָרֹאֶה , the use of which is confined to Samuel, Hanani, and to the person spoken of in Isaiah 30:10 . In this last passage our Authorized Version translates "prophet" while in 1 Chronicles 29:29 our Authorized Version translates both Hebrew names in the very same verse by the one English word "seer." Gad was, perhaps, a pupil of David ( 2 Samuel 22:8 ), and was the successor of Samuel ( 1 Chronicles 9:22 ) in this office.
