---excerpt from the Illustrated Bible Dictionary

Seer - 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; 2 Samuel 24:11; 1 Chronicles 9:22; 1 Chronicles 25:5; 2 Chronicles 9:29; Amos 7:12; Micah 3:7). The "sayings of the seers" (2 Chronicles 33:18, 2 Chronicles 33:19) is rendered in the Revised Category:Version "the history of Hozai" (marg., the seers; so the LXX.), of whom, however, nothing is known. (See PROPHET.)
