1Samuel 28
King James Version Help
28And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men.H3117H6430H6908H4264H6908H6635H3898H3478H397H559H1732H3045H3045H3318H4264H582
2And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever.H1732H559H397H3651H3045H5650H6213H397H559H1732H7760H8104H7218H3117
3Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.H8050H4191H3478H5594H6912H7414H5892H7586H5493H178H3049H776
4And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.H6430H6908H935H2583H7766H7586H6908H3478H6908H2583H1533
5And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.H7586H7200H4264H6430H3372H3820H3966H2729
6And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.H7586H7592H3068H3068H6030H2472H224H5030
7Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.H559H7586H5650H1245H802H1172H178H3212H1875H5650H559H802H1172H178H5874
8And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.H7586H2664H3847H312H899H3212H8147H582H935H802H3915H559H7080H178H5927H559
9And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?H802H559H3045H7586H6213H3772H178H3049H776H5367H5315H4191
10And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.H7586H7650H3068H559H3068H2416H518H5771H7136H1697
11Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.H559H802H5927H559H5927H8050
12And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.H802H7200H8050H2199H1419H6963H802H559H7586H559H7411H7586
13And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.H4428H559H3372H7200H802H559H7586H7200H430H5927H776
14And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.H559H8389H559H2205H376H5927H5844H4598H7586H3045H8050H6915H639H776H7812
15And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.H8050H559H7586H7264H5927H7586H559H3966H6887H6430H3898H430H5493H6030H3027H5030H2472H7121H3045H6213
16Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?H559H8050H7592H3068H5493H6145
17And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David:H3068H6213H1696H3027H3068H7167H4467H3027H5414H7453H1732
18Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.H834H8085H6963H3068H6213H2740H639H6002H3068H6213H1697H3117
19Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.H3068H5414H3478H3027H6430H4279H1121H3068H5414H4264H3478H3027H6430
20Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.H7586H5307H4116H4393H6967H776H3966H3372H1697H8050H3581H398H3899H3117H3915
21And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.H802H935H7586H7200H3966H926H559H8198H8085H6963H7760H5315H3709H8085H1697H1696
22Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.H8085H6963H8198H7760H6595H3899H6440H398H3581H3212H1870
23But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.H3985H559H398H5650H802H6555H8085H6963H6965H776H3427H4296
24And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:H802H4770H5695H1004H4116H2076H3947H7058H3888H644H4682
25And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.H5066H6440H7586H6440H5650H398H6965H3212H3915
