V.1 And it came to pass in those days, 3117 that the Philistines 6430 gathered their armies 4264 together 6908-4 for warfare, 6635 to fight 3898-9 with Israel. 3478 And Achish 397 said 559-4 unto David, 1732 Know 3045-4 thou assuredly, 3045-2 that thou shalt go out 3318-4 with me to battle, 4264 thou and thy men. 582

28:2 And David 1732 said 559-4 to Achish, 397 Surely 3651 thou shalt know 3045-4 what thy servant 5650 can do. 6213-4 And Achish 397 said 559-4 to David, 1732 Therefore will I make 7760-4 thee keeper 8104-6 of mine head 7218 for ever. 3605 3117

28:3 Now Samuel 8050 was dead, 4191-1 and all Israel 3478 had lamented 5594-4 him, and buried 6912-4 him in Ramah, 7414 even in his own city. 5892 And Saul 7586 had put away 5493-52 those that had familiar spirits, 178 and the wizards, 3049 out of the land. 776

28:4 And the Philistines 6430 gathered themselves together, 6908-11 and came 935-4 and pitched 2583-4 in Shunem: 7766 and Saul 7586 gathered all Israel 3478 together, 6908-4 and they pitched 2583-4 in Gilboa. 1533

28:5 And when Saul 7586 saw 7200-4 the host 4264 of the Philistines, 6430 he was afraid, 3372-4 and his heart 3820 greatly 3966 trembled. 2729-4

28:6 And when Saul 7586 enquired 7592-4 of the LORD, 3068 the LORD 3068 answered 6030-1 him not, neither by dreams, 2472 nor by Urim, 224 nor by prophets. 5030

28:7 Then said 559-4 Saul 7586 unto his servants, 5650 Seek 1245-16 me a woman 802 that hath 1172 a familiar spirit, 178 that I may go 3212-4 to her, and enquire 1875-4 of her. And his servants 5650 said 559-4 to him, Behold, [there is] a woman 802 that hath 1172 a familiar spirit 178 at Endor. 5874

28:8 And Saul 7586 disguised 2664-101 himself, and put on 3847-4 other 312 raiment, 899 and he went, 3212-4 and two 8147 men 582 with him, and they came 935-4 to the woman 802 by night: 3915 and he said, 559-4 I pray thee, divine 7080-3 unto me by the familiar spirit, 178 and bring me [him] up, 5927-54 whom I shall name 559-4 unto thee.

28:9 And the woman 802 said 559-4 unto him, Behold, thou knowest 3045-1 what Saul 7586 hath done, 6213-1 how he hath cut off 3772-52 those that have familiar spirits, 178 and the wizards, 3049 out of the land: 776 wherefore then layest thou a snare 5367-102 for my life, 5315 to cause me to die? 4191- 53

28:10 And Saul 7586 sware 7650-11 to her by the LORD, 3068 saying, 559-2 [As] the LORD 3068 liveth, 2416 there shall no 518 punishment 5771 happen 7136-4 to thee for this thing. 1697

28:11 Then said 559-4 the woman, 802 Whom shall I bring up 5927-55 unto thee? And he said, 559-4 Bring me up 5927-54 Samuel. 8050

28:12 And when the woman 802 saw 7200-4 Samuel, 8050 she cried 2199-4 with a loud 1419 voice: 6963 and the woman 802 spake 559-4 to Saul, 7586 saying, 559-2 Why hast thou deceived 7411-14 me? for thou [art] Saul. 7586

28:13 And the king 4428 said 559-4 unto her, Be not afraid: 3372-4 for what sawest 7200-1 thou? And the woman 802 said 559-4 unto Saul, 7586 I saw 7200-1 gods 430 ascending 5927-6 out of the earth. 776

28:14 And he said 559-4 unto her, What form 8389 [is] he of? And she said, 559-4 An old 2205 man 376 cometh up; 5927-6 and he [is] covered 5844-6 with a mantle. 4598 And Saul 7586 perceived 3045-4 that it [was] Samuel, 8050 and he stooped 6915-4 with [his] face 639 to the ground, 776 and bowed 7812- 101 himself.

28:15 And Samuel 8050 said 559-4 to Saul, 7586 Why hast thou disquieted 7264-52 me, to bring me up? 5927-53 And Saul 7586 answered, 559-4 I am sore 3966 distressed; 6887-1 for the Philistines 6430 make war 3898-12 against me, and God 430 is departed 5493-1 from me, and answereth 6030-1 me no more, neither by 3027 prophets, 5030 nor by dreams: 2472 therefore I have called 7121-4 thee, that thou mayest make known 3045- 53 unto me what I shall do. 6213-4

28:16 Then said 559-4 Samuel, 8050 Wherefore then dost thou ask 7592-4 of me, seeing the LORD 3068 is departed 5493-1 from thee, and is become thine enemy? 6145

28:17 And the LORD 3068 hath done 6213-4 to him, as he spake 1696-14 by me: 3027 for the LORD 3068 hath rent 7167-4 the kingdom 4467 out of thine hand, 3027 and given 5414-4 it to thy neighbour, 7453 [even] to David: 1732

28:18 Because 834 thou obeyedst 8085-1 not the voice 6963 of the LORD, 3068 nor executedst 6213-1 his fierce 2740 wrath 639 upon Amalek, 6002 therefore hath the LORD 3068 done 6213- 1 this thing 1697 unto thee this day. 3117

28:19 Moreover the LORD 3068 will also deliver 5414-4 Israel 3478 with thee into the hand 3027 of the Philistines: 6430 and to morrow 4279 [shalt] thou and thy sons 1121 [be] with me: the LORD 3068 also shall deliver 5414-4 the host 4264 of Israel 3478 into the hand 3027 of the Philistines. 6430

28:20 Then Saul 7586 fell 5307-4 straightway 4116-17 all 4393 along 6967 on the earth, 776 and was sore 3966 afraid, 3372-4 because of the words 1697 of Samuel: 8050 and there was no strength 3581 in him; for he had eaten 398-1 no bread 3899 all the day, 3117 nor all the night. 3915

28:21 And the woman 802 came 935-4 unto Saul, 7586 and saw 7200-4 that he was sore 3966 troubled, 926-8 and said 559-4 unto him, Behold, thine handmaid 8198 hath obeyed 8085-1 thy voice, 6963 and I have put 7760-4 my life 5315 in my hand, 3709 and have hearkened 8085-4 unto thy words 1697 which thou spakest 1696-14 unto me.

28:22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken 8085-3 thou also unto the voice 6963 of thine handmaid, 8198 and let me set 7760-4 a morsel 6595 of bread 3899 before 6440 thee; and eat, 398-3 that thou mayest have strength, 3581 when thou goest 3212-4 on thy way. 1870

28:23 But he refused, 3985-17 and said, 559-4 I will not eat. 398-4 But his servants, 5650 together with the woman, 802 compelled 6555-4 him; and he hearkened 8085-4 unto their voice. 6963 So he arose 6965-4 from the earth, 776 and sat 3427-4 upon the bed. 4296

28:24 And the woman 802 had a fat 4770 calf 5695 in the house; 1004 and she hasted, 4116-17 and killed 2076-4 it, and took 3947-4 flour, 7058 and kneaded 3888-4 [it], and did bake 644-4 unleavened bread 4682 thereof:
