Revised Version 1895
1 Samuel 28:11-20
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.
