And it came to pass in those daysH3117, that the PhilistinesH6430 gatheredH6908 their armiesH4264 togetherH6908 for warfareH6635, to fightH3898 with IsraelH3478. And AchishH397 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, KnowH3045 thou assuredlyH3045, that thou shalt go outH3318 with me to battleH4264, thou and thy menH582.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AchishH397, SurelyH3651 thou shalt knowH3045 what thy servantH5650 can doH6213. And AchishH397 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Therefore will I makeH7760 thee keeperH8104 of mine headH7218 for everH3117.
Now SamuelH8050 was deadH4191, and all IsraelH3478 had lamentedH5594 him, and buriedH6912 him in RamahH7414, even in his own cityH5892. And SaulH7586 had put awayH5493 those that had familiar spiritsH178, and the wizardsH3049, out of the landH776.
And the PhilistinesH6430 gathered themselves togetherH6908, and cameH935 and pitchedH2583 in ShunemH7766: and SaulH7586 gatheredH6908 all IsraelH3478 togetherH6908, and they pitchedH2583 in GilboaH1533.
And when SaulH7586 sawH7200 the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, he was afraidH3372, and his heartH3820 greatlyH3966 trembledH2729.
And when SaulH7586 enquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 him not, neither by dreamsH2472, nor by UrimH224, nor by prophetsH5030.
Then saidH559 SaulH7586 unto his servantsH5650, SeekH1245 me a womanH802 that hathH1172 a familiar spiritH178, that I may goH3212 to her, and enquireH1875 of her. And his servantsH5650 saidH559 to him, Behold, there is a womanH802 that hathH1172 a familiar spiritH178 at EndorH5874.
And SaulH7586 disguisedH2664 himself, and put onH3847 otherH312 raimentH899, and he wentH3212, and twoH8147 menH582 with him, and they cameH935 to the womanH802 by nightH3915: and he saidH559, I pray thee, divineH7080 unto me by the familiar spiritH178, and bring me him upH5927, whom I shall nameH559 unto thee.
And the womanH802 saidH559 unto him, Behold, thou knowestH3045 what SaulH7586 hath doneH6213, how he hath cut offH3772 those that have familiar spiritsH178, and the wizardsH3049, out of the landH776: wherefore then layest thou a snareH5367 for my lifeH5315, to cause me to dieH4191?
And SaulH7586 swareH7650 to her by the LORDH3068, sayingH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, there shallH518 no punishmentH5771 happenH7136 to thee for this thingH1697.
Then saidH559 the womanH802, Whom shall I bring upH5927 unto thee? And he saidH559, Bring me upH5927 SamuelH8050.
And when the womanH802 sawH7200 SamuelH8050, she criedH2199 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963: and the womanH802 spakeH559 to SaulH7586, sayingH559, Why hast thou deceivedH7411 me? for thou art SaulH7586.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto her, Be not afraidH3372: for what sawestH7200 thou? And the womanH802 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I sawH7200 godsH430 ascendingH5927 out of the earthH776.
And he saidH559 unto her, What formH8389 is he of? 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. {What…: Heb. What is his form?}
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Why hast thou disquietedH7264 me, to bring me upH5927? And SaulH7586 answeredH559, I am soreH3966 distressedH6887; for the PhilistinesH6430 make warH3898 against me, and GodH430 is departedH5493 from me, and answerethH6030 me no more, neither byH3027 prophetsH5030, nor by dreamsH2472: therefore I have calledH7121 thee, that thou mayest make knownH3045 unto me what I shall doH6213. {by prophets: Heb. by the hand of prophets}
Then saidH559 SamuelH8050, Wherefore then dost thou askH7592 of me, seeing the LORDH3068 is departedH5493 from thee, and is become thine enemyH6145?
And the LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 to him, as he spakeH1696 by meH3027: for the LORDH3068 hath rentH7167 the kingdomH4467 out of thine handH3027, and givenH5414 it to thy neighbourH7453, even to DavidH1732: {to him: or, for himself} {me: Heb. mine hand}
BecauseH834 thou obeyedstH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, nor executedstH6213 his fierceH2740 wrathH639 upon AmalekH6002, therefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 this thingH1697 unto thee this dayH3117.
Moreover 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.
Then 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. {fell…: Heb. made haste, and fell with the fulness of his stature}
And 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.
Now 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.
But 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.
And 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:
And she broughtH5066 it beforeH6440 SaulH7586, and beforeH6440 his servantsH5650; and they did eatH398. Then they rose upH6965, and went awayH3212 that nightH3915.

And SaulH7586 saidH559, Bring hitherH5066 a burnt offeringH5930 to me, and peace offeringsH8002. And he offeredH5927 the burnt offeringH5930.
These things hast thou doneH6213, and I kept silenceH2790; thou thoughtestH1819 that I was altogetherH1961 such an one as thyself: but I will reproveH3198 thee, and set them in orderH6186 before thine eyesH5869.
But SaulH7586 and the peopleH5971 sparedH2550 AgagH90, and the bestH4315 of the sheepH6629, and of the oxenH1241, and of the fatlingsH4932, and the lambsH3733, and all that was goodH2896, and wouldH14 not utterly destroyH2763 them: but every thingH4399 that was vileH5240 and refuseH4549, that they destroyed utterlyH2763. {fatlings: or, second sort}
Now considerH995 this, ye that forgetH7911 GodH433, lest I tear you in piecesH2963, and there be none to deliverH5337.
For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraftH7081, and stubbornnessH6484 is as iniquityH205 and idolatryH8655. Because thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428. {witchcraft: Heb. divination}
And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, I have sinnedH2398: for I have transgressedH5674 the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, and thy wordsH1697: because I fearedH3372 the peopleH5971, and obeyedH8085 their voiceH6963.
Now therefore, I pray thee, pardonH5375 my sinH2403, and turn againH7725 with me, that I may worshipH7812 the LORDH3068.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I will not returnH7725 with thee: for thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
And he saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Because thou hast let goH7971 out of thy handH3027 a manH376 whom I appointed to utter destructionH2764, therefore thy lifeH5315 shall go for his lifeH5315, and thy peopleH5971 for his peopleH5971.
