1 Samuel 28:20-25

20Immediately, Saul fell flat on the ground. He was frightened by Samuel’s words. He also had no strength left, because he hadn’t eaten anything all day or all night.

21The woman came over to Saul and saw that he was terrified. “I listened to you,” she told him, “and I took my life in my hands when I did what you told me to do.

22Now please listen to me. I will serve you something to eat. Eat it so that you will have strength when you leave.”

23But he refused. “I don’t want to eat,” he said. Nevertheless, his officers and the woman kept urging  him until he listened to them. So he got up from the ground and sat on the bed.

24The woman immediately butchered a fattened calf that she owned. She took flour, kneaded it, and baked some unleavened bread.

25Then she served it to Saul and his officers. They ate and left that ⌞same⌟ night.
