1 Samuel 28:11-20
11Then saidH559 the womanH802, Whom shall I bring upH5927 to thee? And he saidH559, Bring me upH5927 SamuelH8050. 12And when the womanH802 sawH7200 SamuelH8050, she criedH2199 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963: and the womanH802 spokeH559 to SaulH7586, sayingH559, Why hast thou deceivedH7411 me? for thou art SaulH7586. 13And the kingH4428 saidH559 to her, Be not afraidH3372: for what sawestH7200 thou? And the womanH802 saidH559 to SaulH7586, I sawH7200 godsH430 ascendingH5927 out of the earthH776. 14And he saidH559 to her, What is his formH8389? And she saidH559, An oldH2205 manH376 cometh upH5927; and he is coveredH5844 with a mantleH4598. And SaulH7586 perceivedH3045 that it was SamuelH8050, and he stoopedH6915 with his faceH639 to the groundH776, and bowedH7812 himself.1
15And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Why hast thou disquietedH7264 me, to bring me upH5927? And SaulH7586 answeredH559, I am grievouslyH3966 distressedH6887; for the PhilistinesH6430 make warH3898 against me, and GodH430 hath departedH5493 from me, and answerethH6030 me no more, neither byH3027 prophetsH5030, nor by dreamsH2472: therefore I have calledH7121 thee, that thou mayest make knownH3045 to me what I shall doH6213.2 16Then saidH559 SamuelH8050, Why then dost thou askH7592 of me, seeing the LORDH3068 hath departedH5493 from thee, and hath become thy enemyH6145? 17And the LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 to him, as he spokeH1696 by meH3027: for the LORDH3068 hath tornH7167 the kingdomH4467 out of thy handH3027, and givenH5414 it to thy neighbourH7453, even to DavidH1732:34 18BecauseH834 thou didst not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, nor executeH6213 his fierceH2740 wrathH639 upon AmalekH6002, therefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 this thingH1697 to thee this dayH3117. 19Moreover the LORDH3068 will also deliverH5414 IsraelH3478 with thee into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430: and to morrowH4279 shalt thou and thy sonsH1121 be with me: the LORDH3068 also shall deliverH5414 the hostH4264 of IsraelH3478 into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
20Then SaulH7586 fellH5307 immediatelyH4116 allH4393 alongH6967 on the earthH776, and was exceedinglyH3966 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 nightH3915.5
