1 Samuel 28:1-25

And it came to pass in those days
<03117>_,

that the Philistines
<06430>

gathered
<06908> (0)

their armies
<04264>

together
<06908> (8799)

for warfare
<06635>_,

to fight
<03898> (8736)

with Israel
<03478>_.

And Achish
<0397>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Know
<03045> (8799)

thou assuredly
<03045> (8800)_,

that thou shalt go out
<03318> (8799)

with me to battle
<04264>_,

thou and thy men
<0582>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Achish
<0397>_,

Surely
<03651>

thou shalt know
<03045> (8799)

what thy servant
<05650>

can do
<06213> (8799)_.

And Achish
<0397>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Therefore will I make
<07760> (8799)

thee keeper
<08104> (8802)

of mine head
<07218>

for ever
<03117>_.

Now Samuel
<08050>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

and all Israel
<03478>

had lamented
<05594> (8799)

him, and buried
<06912> (8799)

him in Ramah
<07414>_,

even in his own city
<05892>_.

And Saul
<07586>

had put away
<05493> (8689)

those that had familiar spirits
<0178>_,

and the wizards
<03049>_,

out of the land
<0776>_.

And the Philistines
<06430>

gathered themselves together
<06908> (8735)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

in Shunem
<07766>_:

and Saul
<07586>

gathered
<06908> (0)

all Israel
<03478>

together
<06908> (8799)_,

and they pitched
<02583> (8799)

in Gilboa
<01533>_.

And when Saul
<07586>

saw
<07200> (8799)

the host
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

he was afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

and his heart
<03820>

greatly
<03966>

trembled
<02729> (8799)_.

And when Saul
<07586>

enquired
<07592> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>_,

the LORD
<03068>

answered
<06030> (8804)

him not, neither by dreams
<02472>_,

nor by Urim
<0224>_,

nor by prophets
<05030>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Saul
<07586>

unto his servants
<05650>_,

Seek
<01245> (8761)

me a woman
<0802>

that hath
<01172>

a familiar spirit
<0178>_,

that I may go
<03212> (8799)

to her, and enquire
<01875> (8799)

of her. And his servants
<05650>

said
<0559> (8799)

to him, Behold, [there is] a woman
<0802>

that hath
<01172>

a familiar spirit
<0178>

at Endor
<05874>_.

And Saul
<07586>

disguised
<02664> (8691)

himself, and put on
<03847> (8799)

other
<0312>

raiment
<0899>_,

and he went
<03212> (8799)_,

and two
<08147>

men
<0582>

with him, and they came
<0935> (8799)

to the woman
<0802>

by night
<03915>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I pray thee, divine
<07080> (8798)

unto me by the familiar spirit
<0178>_,

and bring me [him] up
<05927> (8685)_,

whom I shall name
<0559> (8799)

unto thee.

And the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

what Saul
<07586>

hath done
<06213> (8804)_,

how he hath cut off
<03772> (8689)

those that have familiar spirits
<0178>_,

and the wizards
<03049>_,

out of the land
<0776>_:

wherefore then layest thou a snare
<05367> (8693)

for my life
<05315>_,

to cause me to die
<04191> (8687)_?

And Saul
<07586>

sware
<07650> (8735)

to her by the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

there shall
<0518>

no punishment
<05771>

happen
<07136> (8799)

to thee for this thing
<01697>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the woman
<0802>_,

Whom shall I bring up
<05927> (8686)

unto thee? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring me up
<05927> (8685)

Samuel
<08050>_.

And when the woman
<0802>

saw
<07200> (8799)

Samuel
<08050>_,

she cried
<02199> (8799)

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>_:

and the woman
<0802>

spake
<0559> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Why hast thou deceived
<07411> (8765)

me? for thou [art] Saul
<07586>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)_:

for what sawest
<07200> (8804)

thou? And the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

I saw
<07200> (8804)

gods
<0430>

ascending
<05927> (8802)

out of the earth
<0776>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, What form
<08389>

[is] he of? And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

An old
<02205>

man
<0376>

cometh up
<05927> (8802)_;

and he [is] covered
<05844> (8802)

with a mantle
<04598>_.

And Saul
<07586>

perceived
<03045> (8799)

that it [was] Samuel
<08050>_,

and he stooped
<06915> (8799)

with [his] face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself. {What...: Heb. What is his form?}

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>_,

Why hast thou disquieted
<07264> (8689)

me, to bring me up
<05927> (8687)_?

And Saul
<07586>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I am sore
<03966>

distressed
<06887> (8804)_;

for the Philistines
<06430>

make war
<03898> (8737)

against me, and God
<0430>

is departed
<05493> (8804)

from me, and answereth
<06030> (8804)

me no more, neither by
<03027>

prophets
<05030>_,

nor by dreams
<02472>_:

therefore I have called
<07121> (8799)

thee, that thou mayest make known
<03045> (8687)

unto me what I shall do
<06213> (8799)_.

{by prophets: Heb. by the hand of prophets}

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Samuel
<08050>_,

Wherefore then dost thou ask
<07592> (8799)

of me, seeing the LORD
<03068>

is departed
<05493> (8804)

from thee, and is become thine enemy
<06145>_?

And the LORD
<03068>

hath done
<06213> (8799)

to him, as he spake
<01696> (8765)

by me
<03027>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath rent
<07167> (8799)

the kingdom
<04467>

out of thine hand
<03027>_,

and given
<05414> (8799)

it to thy neighbour
<07453>_,

[even] to David
<01732>_:

{to him: or, for himself} {me: Heb. mine hand}

Because
<0834>

thou obeyedst
<08085> (8804)

not the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

nor executedst
<06213> (8804)

his fierce
<02740>

wrath
<0639>

upon Amalek
<06002>_,

therefore hath the LORD
<03068>

done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>

unto thee this day
<03117>_.

Moreover the LORD
<03068>

will also deliver
<05414> (8799)

Israel
<03478>

with thee into the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_:

and to morrow
<04279>

[shalt] thou and thy sons
<01121>

[be] with me: the LORD
<03068>

also shall deliver
<05414> (8799)

the host
<04264>

of Israel
<03478>

into the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

Then Saul
<07586>

fell
<05307> (8799)

straightway
<04116> (8762)

all
<04393>

along
<06967>

on the earth
<0776>_,

and was sore
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

because of the words
<01697>

of Samuel
<08050>_:

and there was no strength
<03581>

in him; for he had eaten
<0398> (8804)

no bread
<03899>

all the day
<03117>_,

nor all the night
<03915>_.

{fell...: Heb. made haste, and fell with the fulness of his stature}

And the woman
<0802>

came
<0935> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

that he was sore
<03966>

troubled
<0926> (8738)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, thine handmaid
<08198>

hath obeyed
<08085> (8804)

thy voice
<06963>_,

and I have put
<07760> (8799)

my life
<05315>

in my hand
<03709>_,

and have hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto thy words
<01697>

which thou spakest
<01696> (8765)

unto me.

Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken
<08085> (8798)

thou also unto the voice
<06963>

of thine handmaid
<08198>_,

and let me set
<07760> (8799)

a morsel
<06595>

of bread
<03899>

before
<06440>

thee; and eat
<0398> (8798)_,

that thou mayest have strength
<03581>_,

when thou goest
<03212> (8799)

on thy way
<01870>_.

But he refused
<03985> (8762)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not eat
<0398> (8799)_.

But his servants
<05650>_,

together with the woman
<0802>_,

compelled
<06555> (8799)

him; and he hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto their voice
<06963>_.

So he arose
<06965> (8799)

from the earth
<0776>_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

upon the bed
<04296>_.

And the woman
<0802>

had a fat
<04770>

calf
<05695>

in the house
<01004>_;

and she hasted
<04116> (8762)_,

and killed
<02076> (8799)

it, and took
<03947> (8799)

flour
<07058>_,

and kneaded
<03888> (8799)

[it], and did bake
<0644> (8799)

unleavened bread
<04682>

thereof:

And she brought
<05066> (8686)

[it] before
<06440>

Saul
<07586>_,

and before
<06440>

his servants
<05650>_;

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)_.

Then they rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and went away
<03212> (8799)

that night
<03915>_.
