1 Samuel 28:20-25

20Then SaulH7586 fellH5307 straightwayH4116 allH4393 alongH6967 on the earthH776, and was soreH3966 afraidH3372, because of the wordsH1697 of SamuelH8050: and there was no strengthH3581 in him; for he had eatenH398 no breadH3899 all the dayH3117, nor all the nightH3915.1

21And the womanH802 cameH935 unto SaulH7586, and sawH7200 that he was soreH3966 troubledH926, and saidH559 unto him, Behold, thine handmaidH8198 hath obeyedH8085 thy voiceH6963, and I have putH7760 my lifeH5315 in my handH3709, and have hearkenedH8085 unto thy wordsH1697 which thou spakestH1696 unto me. 22Now therefore, I pray thee, hearkenH8085 thou also unto the voiceH6963 of thine handmaidH8198, and let me setH7760 a morselH6595 of breadH3899 beforeH6440 thee; and eatH398, that thou mayest have strengthH3581, when thou goestH3212 on thy wayH1870. 23But he refusedH3985, and saidH559, I will not eatH398. But his servantsH5650, together with the womanH802, compelledH6555 him; and he hearkenedH8085 unto their voiceH6963. So he aroseH6965 from the earthH776, and satH3427 upon the bedH4296. 24And the womanH802 had a fatH4770 calfH5695 in the houseH1004; and she hastedH4116, and killedH2076 it, and tookH3947 flourH7058, and kneadedH3888 it, and did bakeH644 unleavened breadH4682 thereof: 25And she broughtH5066 it beforeH6440 SaulH7586, and beforeH6440 his servantsH5650; and they did eatH398. Then they rose upH6965, and went awayH3212 that nightH3915.
