1
Now it came
about in those
days
that the Philistines
gathered
their armed camps
for war,
to fight
against Israel.
And Achish
said
to David,
"Know
assuredly
that you will go
out with me in the camp,
you and your men."
2
David
said
to Achish,
"Very
well,
you shall know
what
your servant
can do."
So Achish
said
to
David
,
"Very
well,
I will make
you my bodyguard
for life."
3
Now Samuel
was dead,
and all
Israel
had lamented
him and buried
him in Ramah,
his own city.
And Saul
had removed
from the land
those who were mediums
and spiritists.
4
So the Philistines
gathered
together and came
and camped
in Shunem;
and Saul
gathered
all
Israel
together and they camped
in Gilboa.
5
When Saul
saw
the camp
of the Philistines,
he was afraid
and his heart
trembled
greatly.
6
When Saul
inquired
of
the LORD
,
the LORD
did not answer
him, either
by dreams
or
by Urim
or
by prophets.
7
Then Saul
said
to his servants,
"Seek
for me a woman
who is a medium
,
that I may go
to her and inquire
of her." And his servants
said
to him, "Behold,
there is a woman
who is a medium
at En-dor."
8
Then Saul
disguised
himself by putting
on other
clothes,
and went,
he and two
men
with him, and they came
to the woman
by night;
and he said,
"Conjure
up for me, please,
and bring
up for me whom
I shall name
to you."
9
But the woman
said
to him, "Behold,
you know
what
Saul
has done,
how
he has cut off
those who are mediums
and spiritists
from the land.
Why
are you then laying a snare
for my life
to bring about my death?"
10
Saul
vowed
to her by the LORD,
saying,
"As the LORD
lives,
no
punishment
shall come
upon you for this
thing."
11
Then the woman
said,
"Whom
shall I bring
up for you?" And he
said,
"Bring
up Samuel
for me."
12
When the woman
saw
Samuel,
she cried
out with a loud
voice;
and the woman
spoke
to Saul,
saying,
"Why
have you deceived
me? For you are Saul."
13
The king
said
to her, "Do not be afraid;
but what
do you see?"
And the woman
said
to Saul,
"I see
a divine being
coming
up out of the earth."
14
He said
to her, "What
is his form?"
And she said,
"An old
man
is coming
up, and he is wrapped
with a robe."
And Saul
knew
that it was Samuel,
and he bowed
with his face
to the ground
and did homage.
15
Then Samuel
said
to Saul,
"Why
have you disturbed
me by bringing
me up?" And Saul
answered,
"I am greatly
distressed;
for the Philistines
are waging war
against me, and God
has departed
from me and no
longer
answers
me, either
through
prophets
or
by dreams;
therefore I have called
you, that you may make known
to me what
I should do."
16
Samuel
said,
"Why
then do you ask
me, since the LORD
has departed
from you and has become
your adversary?
17
"The LORD
has done
accordingly
as He spoke
through
me; for the LORD
has torn
the kingdom
out of your hand
and given
it to your neighbor,
to David.
18
"As you did not obey
the LORD
and did not execute
His fierce
wrath
on Amalek,
so
the LORD
has done
this
thing
to you
this
day.
19
"Moreover
the LORD
will also
give
over Israel
along
with you
into the hands
of the Philistines,
therefore tomorrow
you and your sons
will be with me. Indeed
the LORD
will
give
over the army
of Israel
into the hands
of the Philistines!"
20
Then Saul
immediately
fell
full
length
upon the ground
and was very
afraid
because
of the words
of Samuel;
also
there was
no
strength
in him, for he had eaten
no
food
all
day
and
all
night.
21
The woman
came
to Saul
and saw
that he was terrified,
and said
to him, "Behold,
your maidservant
has obeyed
you, and I have taken
my life
in my hand
and have listened
to your words
which
you spoke
to me.
22
"So now
also,
please
listen
to the voice
of your maidservant,
and let me set
a piece
of bread
before
you that you may eat
and have
strength
when
you go
on your way."
23
But he refused
and said,
"I will not eat."
However, his servants
together
with the woman
urged
him, and he listened
to them. So he arose
from the ground
and sat
on the bed.
24
The woman
had a fattened
calf
in the house,
and she quickly
slaughtered
it; and she took
flour,
kneaded
it and baked
unleavened bread
from it.
25
She brought
it before
Saul
and his servants,
and they ate.
Then they arose
and went
away that night.
