1 Samuel 28:20-25
20Then SaulH7586 immediatelyH4116 fellH5307 fullH4393 lengthH6967 upon the groundH776 and was veryH3966 afraidH3372 becauseH4480 of the wordsH1697 of SamuelH8050; alsoH1571 there was noH3808 strengthH3581 in him, for he had eatenH398 noH3808 1foodH3899 allH3605 dayH3117 and allH3605 nightH3915.
21The womanH802 cameH935 to SaulH7586 and sawH7200 that he was terrifiedH926, and saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009, your maidservantH8198 has 2obeyedH8085H6963 you, and 3I have 4takenH7760 my lifeH5315 in my handH3709 and have listenedH8085 to your wordsH1697 whichH834 you spokeH1696 to me.
22So nowH6258 alsoH1571, pleaseH4994 listenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of your maidservantH8198, and let me setH7760 a pieceH6595 of breadH3899 beforeH6440 you that you may eatH398 and haveH1961 strengthH3581 whenH3588 you goH1980 on your wayH1870.”
23But he refusedH3985 and saidH559, “5I will not eatH398.” 6However, his servantsH5650 togetherH1571 with the womanH802 urgedH6555 him, and he listenedH8085 to 7them. So he aroseH6965 from the groundH776 and satH3427 on 8the bedH4296.
24The womanH802 had a 9fattenedH4770 calfH5695 in the houseH1004, and she quicklyH4116 slaughteredH2076 it; and she 10tookH3947 flourH7058, kneadedH3888 it and bakedH644 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 from it.
25She broughtH5066 it beforeH6440 SaulH7586 and his servantsH5650, and they ateH398. Then they aroseH6965 and wentH1980 away that nightH3915.
