From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Seer
     a name sometimes applied to the prophets because of the visions
     granted to them. It is first found in 1 Sam. 9:9. It is
     afterwards applied to Zadok, Gad, etc. (2 Sam. 15:27; 24:11; 1
     Chr. 9:22; 25:5; 2 Chr. 9:29; Amos 7:12; Micah 3:7). The
     "sayings of the seers" (2 Chr. 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}.)
