1 Samuel 28:1-4

1And it came to pass in those daysH3117, that the PhilistinesH6430 gatheredH6908 their armiesH4264 togetherH6908 for warfareH6635, to fightH3898 with IsraelH3478. And AchishH397 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, KnowH3045 thou assuredlyH3045, that thou shalt go outH3318 with me to battleH4264, thou and thy menH582. 2And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AchishH397, SurelyH3651 thou shalt knowH3045 what thy servantH5650 can doH6213. And AchishH397 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Therefore will I makeH7760 thee keeperH8104 of mine headH7218 for everH3117.

3Now SamuelH8050 was deadH4191, and all IsraelH3478 had lamentedH5594 him, and buriedH6912 him in RamahH7414, even in his own cityH5892. And SaulH7586 had put awayH5493 those that had familiar spiritsH178, and the wizardsH3049, out of the landH776. 4And the PhilistinesH6430 gathered themselves togetherH6908, and cameH935 and pitchedH2583 in ShunemH7766: and SaulH7586 gatheredH6908 all IsraelH3478 togetherH6908, and they pitchedH2583 in GilboaH1533.
