1 Samuel 28:1
|
|
And it came to pass in those days, that the
Philistines gathered their hosts together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And
Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me in
the host, thou and thy men. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:2 |
|
And David said to Achish, Therefore thou shalt
know what thy servant will do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make
thee keeper of my head for ever. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:3 |
|
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented
him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those
that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:4 |
|
And the Philistines gathered themselves together,
and came and encamped in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they
encamped in Gilboa. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:5 |
|
And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines,
he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:6 |
|
And when Saul inquired of Jehovah, Jehovah answered
him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:7 |
|
Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a
woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And
his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit
at En-dor. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:8 |
|
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other
raiment, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night:
and he said, Divine unto me, I pray thee, by the familiar spirit, and bring me
up whomsoever I shall name unto thee. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:9 |
|
And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest
what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and
the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life,
to cause me to die? |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:10 |
|
And Saul sware to her by Jehovah, saying, As
Jehovah liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:11 |
|
Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto
thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:12 |
|
And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with
a loud voice; and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me?
for thou art Saul. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:13 |
|
And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for
what seest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I see a god coming up out of the
earth. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:14 |
|
And he said unto her, What form is he of? And
she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a robe. And Saul perceived
that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance.
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:15 |
|
And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted
me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines
make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither
by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make
known unto me what I shall do. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:16 |
|
And Samuel said, Wherefore then dost thou ask
of me, seeing Jehovah is departed from thee, and is become thine adversary? |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:17 |
|
And Jehovah hath done unto thee, as he spake
by me: and Jehovah hath rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy
neighbor, even to David. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:18 |
|
Because thou obeyedst not the voice of Jehovah,
and didst not execute his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath Jehovah done
this thing unto thee this day. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:19 |
|
Moreover Jehovah will deliver Israel also with
thee into the hand of the Philistines; and to-morrow shalt thou and thy sons be
with me: Jehovah will deliver the host of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.
|
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:20 |
|
Then Saul fell straightway his full length upon
the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was
no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
|
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:21 |
|
And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he
was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thy handmaid hath hearkened unto
thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words
which thou spakest unto me. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:22 |
|
Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also
unto the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee;
and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:23 |
|
But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But
his servants, together with the woman, constrained him; and he hearkened unto
their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:24 |
|
And the woman had a fatted calf in the house;
and she hasted, and killed it; and she took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake
unleavened bread thereof: |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 28:25 |
|
and she brought it before Saul, and before his
servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night. |
