28Now it came about in those days that the Philistines gathered their armed camps for war, to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, "Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the camp, you and your men."H3117H6430H6908H4264H6908H6635H3898H3478H397H559H1732H3045H3045H3318H4264H5822And David said to Achish, "Very well, you shall know what your servant can do." So Achish said to David, "Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life."H1732H559H397H3651H3045H5650H6213H397H559H1732H7760H8104H7218H31173Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him and buried him in Ramah his own city. And Saul had removed from the land those who were mediums and spiritists.H8050H4191H3478H5594H6912H7414H5892H7586H5493H178H3049H7764So the Philistines gathered together and came and camped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together and they camped in Gilboa.H6430H6908H935H2583H7766H7586H6908H3478H6908H2583H15335When Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid and his heart trembled greatly.H7586H7200H4264H6430H3372H3820H3966H27296When Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by prophets.H7586H7592H3068H3068H6030H2472H224H50307Then Saul said to his servants, "Seek for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." And his servants said to him, "Behold, there is a woman who is a medium at En-dor."H559H7586H5650H1245H802H1172H178H3212H1875H5650H559H802H1172H178H58748Then Saul disguised himself by putting on other clothes, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said, "Conjure up for me, please, and bring up for me whom I shall name to you."H7586H2664H3847H312H899H3212H8147H582H935H802H3915H559H7080H178H5927H5599But the woman said to him, "Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who are mediums and spiritists from the land. Why are you then laying a snare for my life to bring about my death?"H802H559H3045H7586H6213H3772H178H3049H776H5367H5315H419110And Saul vowed to her by the LORD, saying, "As the LORD lives, there shall no punishment come upon you for this thing."H7586H7650H3068H559H3068H2416H518H5771H7136H169711Then the woman said, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" And he said, " Bring up Samuel for me. "H559H802H5927H559H5927H805012When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, "Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul."H802H7200H8050H2199H1419H6963H802H559H7586H559H7411H758613And the king said to her, "Do not be afraid; but what do you see?" And the woman said to Saul," I see a divine being coming up out of the earth. "H4428H559H3372H7200H802H559H7586H7200H430H5927H77614And he said to her, "What is his form?" And she said, "An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped with a robe." And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and did homage.H559H8389H559H2205H376H5927H5844H4598H7586H3045H8050H6915H639H776H781215Then Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am greatly distressed; for the Philistines are waging war against me, and God has departed from me and answers me no more, either through prophets or by dreams; therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I should do."H8050H559H7586H7264H5927H7586H559H3966H6887H6430H3898H430H5493H6030H3027H5030H2472H7121H3045H621316And Samuel said, "Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has departed from you and has become your adversary?H559H8050H7592H3068H5493H614517"And the LORD has done accordingly as He spoke through me; for the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, to David.H3068H6213H1696H3027H3068H7167H4467H3027H5414H7453H173218"As you did not obey the LORD and did not execute His fierce wrath on Amalek, so the LORD has done this thing to you this day.H834H8085H6963H3068H6213H2740H639H6002H3068H6213H1697H311719"Moreover the LORD will also give over Israel along with you into the hands of the Philistines, therefore tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Indeed the LORD will give over the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines!"H3068H5414H3478H3027H6430H4279H1121H3068H5414H4264H3478H3027H643020Then Saul immediately fell full length upon the ground and was very afraid because of the words of Samuel; also there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day and all night.H7586H5307H4116H4393H6967H776H3966H3372H1697H8050H3581H398H3899H3117H391521And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was terrified, and said to him, "Behold, your maidservant has obeyed you, and I have taken my life in my hand, and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.H802H935H7586H7200H3966H926H559H8198H8085H6963H7760H5315H3709H8085H1697H169622"So now also, please listen to the voice of your maidservant, and let me set a piece of bread before you that [you may] eat and have strength when you go on [your] way."H8085H6963H8198H7760H6595H3899H6440H398H3581H3212H187023But he refused and said, "I will not eat." However, his servants together with the woman urged him, and he listened to them. So he arose from the ground and sat on the bed.H3985H559H398H5650H802H6555H8085H6963H6965H776H3427H429624And the woman had a fattened calf in the house, and she quickly slaughtered it; and she took flour, kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread from it.H802H4770H5695H1004H4116H2076H3947H7058H3888H644H468225And she brought [it] before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they arose and went away that night.H5066H6440H7586H6440H5650H398H6965H3212H3915
