1 Samuel 28

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in thoseH376 daysH3117, that the PhilistinesH6430 gatheredH6908 their hostsH6635 togetherH6908 for warfareH6635, to fightH3898 with IsraelH3478. And AchishH397 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, KnowH3045 thou assuredlyH3045, that thou shalt goH3318 outH3318 with meH413 in the hostH6635, thou and thy menH376. 2And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AchishH397, Therefore thou shalt knowH3045 whatH834 thy servantH5650 will doH6213. And AchishH397 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Therefore will I makeH7760 thee keeperH8104 of mine headH7218 for ever. 3Now SamuelH8050 was deadH4191, and allH3605 IsraelH3478 had lamentedH5594 him, and buriedH6912 him in RamahH7414, evenH853 in his own cityH5892. And SaulH7586 had putH4191 awayH5493 thoseH3605 that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, outH3605 of the landH776. 4And the PhilistinesH6430 gatheredH6908 themselvesH6908 togetherH6908, and cameH935 and pitchedH2583 in ShunemH7766: and SaulH7586 gatheredH6908 allH3605 IsraelH3478 togetherH6908, and they pitchedH2583 in GilboaH1533. 5And when SaulH7586 sawH7200 the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, he was afraidH3372, and his heartH3820 trembledH2729 greatlyH3966. 6And when SaulH7586 inquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 him notH3808, neitherH3808 by dreamsH2472, norH3808 by UrimH224, norH3808 by prophetsH5030. 7Then saidH559 SaulH7586 unto his servantsH5650, SeekH1245 meH413 a womanH802 that hath a familiar spiritH178, that I may goH2009 to herH413, and inquireH1875 of herH413. And his servantsH5650 saidH559 to him, BeholdH2009, there is a womanH802 that hath a familiar spiritH178 at En-dorH5874. 8And SaulH7586 disguisedH2664 himselfH1931, and putH3847 on otherH312 raiment, and wentH935, he and twoH8147 menH376 with him, and they cameH935 to the womanH802 by nightH3915: and he saidH559, DivineH7080 unto meH413, I pray thee, by the familiar spiritH178, and bringH935 meH413 upH5927 whomsoever I shall nameH559 unto thee. 9And the womanH802 saidH559 unto him, BeholdH2009, thou knowest whatH4100 SaulH7586 hath doneH6213, howH4100 he hath cutH3772 offH3772 thoseH834 that have familiarH3045 spirits, and the wizards, outH4480 of the landH776: wherefore then layest thou a snareH5367 for my lifeH5315, to cause meH413 to dieH4191? 10And SaulH7586 sware to herH518 by the LORDH3068, sayingH559, As the LORDH3068 liveth, there shall noH518 punishmentH5771 happenH1697 to thee for this thingH1697. 11Then saidH559 the womanH802, WhomH4310 shall I bringH5927 upH5927 unto thee? And he saidH559, BringH5927 meH5927 upH5927 SamuelH8050. 12And when the womanH802 sawH7200 SamuelH8050, sheH4100 criedH2199 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963: and the womanH802 spake to SaulH7586, sayingH559, WhyH4100 hast thou deceivedH7411 meH413? for thou art SaulH7586. 13And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto herH413, Be notH408 afraidH3372: for whatH4100 seest thou? And the womanH802 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I seeH7200 a godH430 comingH5927 upH5927 outH4480 of the earthH776. 14And he saidH559 unto herH559, WhatH4100 formH8389 is he of? And sheH1931 saidH559, An oldH2205 manH376 cometh upH5927; and he is covered with a robeH4598. And SaulH7586 perceivedH3045 that it was SamuelH8050, and he bowedH7812 with his faceH639 to the groundH776, and didH4100 obeisance. 15And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, WhyH4100 hast thou disquieted meH413, to bringH5927 meH413 upH5927? And SaulH7586 answeredH559, I am sore distressed; for the PhilistinesH6430 makeH6213 war againstH5921 meH413, and GodH430 is departedH5493 from meH413, and answereth meH413 noH3808 moreH5750, neitherH3808 by prophetsH5030, norH3808 by dreamsH2472: therefore I have calledH7121 thee, that thou mayest makeH6213 knownH3045 unto meH413 whatH4100 I shall doH6213. 16And SamuelH8050 saidH559, Wherefore then dost thou askH7592 of meH5921, seeing the LORDH3068 is departedH5493 from thee, and is becomeH1961 thine adversaryH6145? 17And the LORDH3068 hath wrought for himselfH3027, as he spake by meH5414: and the LORDH3068 hath rent the kingdomH4467 outH3027 of thine handH3027, and givenH5414 it to thy neighbour, evenH853 to DavidH1732. 18BecauseH5921 thou obeyedst notH3808 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 and didst notH3808 execute his fierceH2740 wrathH639 uponH5921 AmalekH6002, therefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 this thingH1697 unto thee this dayH3117. 19MoreoverH1571 the LORDH3068 will deliverH5414 IsraelH3478 also with thee intoH3027 the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430: and tomorrowH4279 shalt thou and thy sonsH1121 be with meH5414: the LORDH3068 shall deliverH5414 the hostH4264 of IsraelH3478 also intoH3027 the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. 20Then SaulH7586 fellH5307 straightway his fullH4393 lengthH6967 uponH1961 the earthH776, and was sore afraidH3372, becauseH3588 of the wordsH1697 of SamuelH8050: and there was noH3808 strengthH3581 in him; for he had eatenH398 noH3808 breadH3899 allH3605 the dayH3117, norH3808 allH3605 the nightH3915. 21And the womanH802 cameH935 unto SaulH7586, and sawH7200 that he was sore troubledH3966, and saidH559 unto him, BeholdH2009, thine handmaid hath hearkened unto thy voiceH6963, and I have putH7760 my lifeH5315 in my handH3709, and have hearkened unto thy wordsH1697 whichH834 thou spakest unto meH413. 22NowH6258 therefore, I prayH4994 thee, hearken thou also unto the voiceH6963 of thine handmaid, and letH4994 meH4994 setH7760 a morselH6595 of breadH3899 beforeH6440 thee; and eatH398, that thou mayest have strengthH3581, when thou goest on thy wayH1870. 23But he refusedH3985, and saidH559, I will notH3808 eatH398. But his servantsH5650, togetherH1571 with the womanH802, constrained him; and he hearkened unto their voiceH6963. SoH3808 he aroseH6965 from the earthH776, and satH3427 uponH413 the bedH4296. 24And the womanH802 had a fatted calfH5695 in the houseH1004; and she hasted, and killed it; and she tookH3947 flourH7058, and kneadedH3888 it, and did bakeH644 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 thereof: 25and sheH1931 broughtH5066 it beforeH6440 SaulH7586, and beforeH6440 his servantsH5650; and they did eatH398. Then they roseH6965 upH6965, and wentH5066 awayH398 that nightH3915.
