[1]And it came to pass in those daysH3117, that the PhilistinesH6430 gatheredH6908 their armiesH4264 togetherH6908[H8799] for warfareH6635, to fightH3898[H8736] with IsraelH3478. And AchishH397 saidH559[H8799] unto DavidH1732, KnowH3045[H8799] thou assuredlyH3045[H8800], that thou shalt go outH3318[H8799] with me to battleH4264, thou and thy menH582.
[2]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] to AchishH397, SurelyH3651 thou shalt knowH3045[H8799] what thy servantH5650 can doH6213[H8799]. And AchishH397 saidH559[H8799] to DavidH1732, Therefore will I makeH7760[H8799] thee keeperH8104[H8802] of mine headH7218 for everH3117.
[3]Now SamuelH8050 was deadH4191[H8804], and all IsraelH3478 had lamentedH5594[H8799] him, and buriedH6912[H8799] him in RamahH7414, even in his own cityH5892. And SaulH7586 had put awayH5493[H8689] those that had familiar spiritsH178, and the wizardsH3049, out of the landH776.
[4]And the PhilistinesH6430 gathered themselves togetherH6908[H8735], and cameH935[H8799] and pitchedH2583[H8799] in ShunemH7766: and SaulH7586 gatheredH6908 all IsraelH3478 togetherH6908[H8799], and they pitchedH2583[H8799] in GilboaH1533.
[5]And when SaulH7586 sawH7200[H8799] the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, he was afraidH3372[H8799], and his heartH3820 greatlyH3966 trembledH2729.[H8799]
[6]And when SaulH7586 enquiredH7592[H8799] of the LORDH3068, the LORDH3068 answeredH6030[H8804] him not, neither by dreamsH2472, nor by UrimH224, nor by prophetsH5030.
[7]Then saidH559[H8799] SaulH7586 unto his servantsH5650, SeekH1245[H8761] me a womanH802 that hathH1172 a familiar spiritH178, that I may goH3212[H8799] to her, and enquireH1875[H8799] of her. And his servantsH5650 saidH559[H8799] to him, Behold, there is a womanH802 that hathH1172 a familiar spiritH178 at EndorH5874.
[8]And SaulH7586 disguisedH2664[H8691] himself, and put onH3847[H8799] otherH312 raimentH899, and he wentH3212[H8799], and twoH8147 menH582 with him, and they cameH935[H8799] to the womanH802 by nightH3915: and he saidH559[H8799], I pray thee, divineH7080[H8798] unto me by the familiar spiritH178, and bring me him upH5927[H8685], whom I shall nameH559 unto theeH8799.
[9]And the womanH802 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Behold, thou knowestH3045[H8804] what SaulH7586 hath doneH6213[H8804], how he hath cut offH3772[H8689] those that have familiar spiritsH178, and the wizardsH3049, out of the landH776: wherefore then layest thou a snareH5367[H8693] for my lifeH5315, to cause me to dieH4191?[H8687]
[10]And SaulH7586 swareH7650[H8735] to her by the LORDH3068, sayingH559[H8800], As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, there shallH518 no punishmentH5771 happenH7136[H8799] to thee for this thingH1697.
[11]Then saidH559[H8799] the womanH802, Whom shall I bring upH5927[H8686] unto thee? And he saidH559[H8799], Bring me upH5927[H8685] SamuelH8050.
[12]And when the womanH802 sawH7200[H8799] SamuelH8050, she criedH2199[H8799] with a loudH1419 voiceH6963: and the womanH802 spakeH559[H8799] to SaulH7586, sayingH559[H8800], Why hast thou deceivedH7411[H8765] me? for thou art SaulH7586.
[13]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto her, Be not afraidH3372[H8799]: for what sawestH7200[H8804] thou? And the womanH802 saidH559[H8799] unto SaulH7586, I sawH7200[H8804] godsH430 ascendingH5927[H8802] out of the earthH776.
[14]And he saidH559[H8799] unto her, What formH8389 is he of? And she saidH559[H8799], An oldH2205 manH376 cometh upH5927[H8802]; and he is coveredH5844[H8802] with a mantleH4598. And SaulH7586 perceivedH3045[H8799] that it was SamuelH8050, and he stoopedH6915[H8799] with his faceH639 to the groundH776, and bowedH7812 himselfH8691.
[15]And SamuelH8050 saidH559[H8799] to SaulH7586, Why hast thou disquietedH7264[H8689] me, to bring me upH5927[H8687]? And SaulH7586 answeredH559[H8799], I am soreH3966 distressedH6887[H8804]; for the PhilistinesH6430 make warH3898[H8737] against me, and GodH430 is departedH5493[H8804] from me, and answerethH6030[H8804] me no more, neither byH3027 prophetsH5030, nor by dreamsH2472: therefore I have calledH7121[H8799] thee, that thou mayest make knownH3045[H8687] unto me what I shall doH6213.[H8799]
[16]Then saidH559[H8799] SamuelH8050, Wherefore then dost thou askH7592[H8799] of me, seeing the LORDH3068 is departedH5493[H8804] from thee, and is become thine enemyH6145?
[17]And the LORDH3068 hath doneH6213[H8799] to him, as he spakeH1696[H8765] by meH3027: for the LORDH3068 hath rentH7167[H8799] the kingdomH4467 out of thine handH3027, and givenH5414[H8799] it to thy neighbourH7453, even to DavidH1732:
[18]BecauseH834 thou obeyedstH8085[H8804] not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, nor executedstH6213[H8804] his fierceH2740 wrathH639 upon AmalekH6002, therefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213[H8804] this thingH1697 unto thee this dayH3117.
[19]Moreover the LORDH3068 will also deliverH5414[H8799] IsraelH3478 with thee into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430: and to morrowH4279 shalt thou and thy sonsH1121 be with me: the LORDH3068 also shall deliverH5414[H8799] the hostH4264 of IsraelH3478 into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
[20]Then SaulH7586 fellH5307[H8799] straightwayH4116[H8762] allH4393 alongH6967 on the earthH776, and was soreH3966 afraidH3372[H8799], because of the wordsH1697 of SamuelH8050: and there was no strengthH3581 in him; for he had eatenH398[H8804] no breadH3899 all the dayH3117, nor all the nightH3915.
[21]And the womanH802 cameH935[H8799] unto SaulH7586, and sawH7200[H8799] that he was soreH3966 troubledH926[H8738], and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Behold, thine handmaidH8198 hath obeyedH8085[H8804] thy voiceH6963, and I have putH7760[H8799] my lifeH5315 in my handH3709, and have hearkenedH8085[H8799] unto thy wordsH1697 which thou spakestH1696 unto meH8765.
[22]Now therefore, I pray thee, hearkenH8085[H8798] thou also unto the voiceH6963 of thine handmaidH8198, and let me setH7760[H8799] a morselH6595 of breadH3899 beforeH6440 thee; and eatH398[H8798], that thou mayest have strengthH3581, when thou goestH3212[H8799] on thy wayH1870.
[23]But he refusedH3985[H8762], and saidH559[H8799], I will not eatH398[H8799]. But his servantsH5650, together with the womanH802, compelledH6555[H8799] him; and he hearkenedH8085[H8799] unto their voiceH6963. So he aroseH6965[H8799] from the earthH776, and satH3427[H8799] upon the bedH4296.
[24]And the womanH802 had a fatH4770 calfH5695 in the houseH1004; and she hastedH4116[H8762], and killedH2076[H8799] it, and tookH3947[H8799] flourH7058, and kneadedH3888[H8799] it, and did bakeH644[H8799] unleavened bread thereofH4682:
[25]And she broughtH5066[H8686] it beforeH6440 SaulH7586, and beforeH6440 his servantsH5650; and they did eatH398[H8799]. Then they rose upH6965[H8799], and went awayH3212[H8799] that nightH3915.
