1 And it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS in those H1992 D-PPRO-3MP days H3117 BD-NMP , that the Philistines H6430 gathered together H6908 their armies H4264 for warfare H6635 , to fight H3898 with Israel H3478 . And Achish H397 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Know thou assuredly H3045 , that H3588 CONJ thou shalt go out H3318 with H854 PREP-1MS me to battle H4264 , thou H859 PPRO-2MS and thy men H376 .
2 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Achish H397 , Surely H3651 L-ADV thou H859 PPRO-2MS shalt know H3045 VQY2MS what H834 RPRO thy servant H5650 can do H6213 VQY3MS . And Achish H397 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Therefore H3651 L-ADV will I make H7760 thee keeper H8104 of mine head H7218 forever H3117 D-NMP .
3 Now Samuel H8050 was dead H4191 , and all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 had lamented H5594 him , and buried H6912 him in Ramah H7414 , even in his own city H5892 . And Saul H7586 had put away H5493 VHQ3MS those that had familiar spirits H178 , and the wizards H3049 , out of the land H776 .
4 And the Philistines H6430 gathered themselves together H6908 , and came H935 W-VQY3MP and pitched H2583 W-VQY3MP in Shunem H7766 : and Saul H7586 gathered all Israel together H6908 , and they pitched H2583 in Gilboa H1533 .
5 And when Saul H7586 saw H7200 W-VIY3MS the host H4264 of the Philistines H6430 , he was afraid H3372 , and his heart H3820 CMS-3MS greatly H3966 ADV trembled H2729 .
6 And when Saul H7586 inquired H7592 W-VQY3MS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS , the LORD H3068 EDS answered H6030 him not H3808 W-NPAR , neither H1571 CONJ by dreams H2472 , nor H1571 CONJ by Urim H224 , nor H1571 CONJ by prophets H5030 .
7 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Saul H7586 unto his servants H5650 , Seek H1245 me a woman H802 CFS that hath H1172 a familiar spirit H178 , that I may go H1980 to H413 PREP-3FS her , and inquire H1875 of her . And his servants H5650 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP-3MS him , Behold H2009 IJEC , there is a woman H802 CFS that hath H1172 a familiar spirit H178 at Endor H5874 .
8 And Saul H7586 disguised himself H2664 , and put on H3847 other H312 AMP raiment H899 , and he H1931 PPRO-3MS went H1980 W-VQY3MS , and two H8147 men H376 with H5973 PREP-3MS him , and they came H935 W-VQY3MP to H413 PREP the woman H802 D-NFS by night H3915 NFS : and he said H559 W-VQY3MS , I pray thee H4994 , divine H7080 unto me by the familiar spirit H178 , and bring H5927 me him up , whom H834 RPRO I shall name H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP thee .
9 And the woman H802 D-NFS said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Behold H2009 IJEC , thou H859 PPRO-2MS knowest H3045 VQQ2MS what H834 RPRO Saul H7586 hath done H6213 VQQ3MS , how H834 RPRO he hath cut off H3772 those that have familiar spirits H178 , and the wizards H3049 , out of H4480 PREP the land H776 D-GFS : wherefore H4100 then layest thou H859 PPRO-2MS a snare H5367 for my life H5315 , to cause me to die H4191 ?
10 And Saul H7586 swore H7650 to her by the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS , saying H559 L-VQFC , As the LORD H3068 EDS liveth H2416 AMS , there shall no H518 PART punishment H5771 NMS happen H7136 to thee for this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 .
11 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS the woman H802 D-NFS , Whom H4130 shall I bring up H5927 unto thee ? And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Bring me up H5927 Samuel H8050 .
12 And when the woman H802 D-NFS saw H7200 W-VQQ3FS Samuel H8050 , she cried H2199 with a loud H1419 AMS voice H6963 B-NMS : and the woman H802 D-NFS spoke H559 W-VQY3FS to H413 PREP Saul H7586 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Why H4100 L-IPRO hast thou deceived H7411 me ? for thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS art Saul H7586 .
13 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto her , Be not H408 NPAR afraid H3372 : for H3588 CONJ what H4100 IGAT sawest H7200 thou ? And the woman H802 D-NFS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Saul H7586 , I saw H7200 VQQ1MS gods H430 EDP ascending H5927 out of H4480 PREP the earth H776 D-GFS .
14 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto her , What H4100 IGAT form H8389 is he of ? And she said H559 W-VQY3MS , An old H2205 PFS man H376 NMS cometh up H5927 ; and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS is covered H5844 with a mantle H4598 . And Saul H7586 perceived H3045 W-VQY3MS that H3588 CONJ it was Samuel H8050 , and he H1931 PPRO-3MS stooped H6915 with his face H639 NMD to the ground H776 NFS-3FS , and bowed himself H7812 W-VHY3MS .
15 And Samuel H8050 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Saul H7586 , Why H4100 L-IPRO hast thou disquieted H7264 me , to bring me up H5927 ? And Saul H7586 answered H559 W-VQY3MS , I am sore H3966 ADV distressed H6887 ; for the Philistines H6430 make war H3898 against me , and God H430 is departed H5493 from me , and answereth H6030 me no H3808 W-NPAR more H5750 ADV , neither H1571 CONJ by H3027 prophets H5030 , nor H1571 CONJ by dreams H2472 : therefore I have called H7121 thee , that thou mayest make known H3045 unto me what H4100 L-IPRO I shall do H6213 .
16 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Samuel H8050 , Wherefore H4100 WL-IGAT then dost thou ask H7592 of me , seeing the LORD H3068 W-EDS is departed H5493 from thee , and is become H1961 W-VQY3MS thine enemy H6145 ?
17 And the LORD H3068 EDS hath done H6213 W-VQY3MS to him , as H834 K-RPRO he spoke H1696 VPQ3MS by H3027 B-CFS-1MS me : for the LORD H3068 EDS hath rent H7167 W-VQY3MS the kingdom H4467 out of thine hand H3027 , and given H5414 it to thy neighbor H7453 , even to David H1732 :
18 Because H834 K-RPRO thou obeyedst H8085 VQQ2MS not H3808 ADV the voice H6963 B-NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , nor H3808 ADV executedst H6213 VQQ2MS his fierce H2740 CMS wrath H639 CMS-3MS upon Amalek H6002 , therefore H3651 ADV hath the LORD H3068 EDS done H6213 VQQ3MS this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS unto thee this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS .
19 Moreover H1571 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS will also deliver H5414 Israel H3478 with H5973 PREP-2MS thee into the hand H3027 B-CFS of the Philistines H6430 TMS : and tomorrow H4279 shalt thou H859 PPRO-2MS and thy sons H1121 W-CMP-2MS be with H5973 me : the LORD H3068 EDS also H1571 CONJ shall deliver H5414 VHFA the host H4264 of Israel H3478 into the hand H3027 B-CFS of the Philistines H6430 .
20 Then Saul H7586 fell H5307 W-VQY3MS straightway H4116 all along H4393 on the earth H776 NFS-3FS , and was sore H3966 ADV afraid H3372 , because of the words H1697 of Samuel H8050 : and H1571 CONJ there was H1961 VQQ3MS no H3808 NADV strength H3581 CMS in him ; for H3588 CONJ he had eaten H398 VQQ3MS no H3808 NADV bread H3899 NMS all H3605 NMS the day H3117 D-AMS , nor all H3605 NMS the night H3915 .
21 And the woman H802 D-NFS came H935 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP Saul H7586 , and saw H7200 W-VQQ3FS that H3588 CONJ he was sore H3966 ADV troubled H926 , and said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Behold H2009 IJEC , thine handmaid H8198 hath obeyed H8085 VQQ3FS thy voice H6963 , and I have put H7760 my life H5315 CFS-1MS in my hand H3709 , and have hearkened H8085 VQQ3FS unto thy words H1697 which H834 RPRO thou spokest H1696 unto H413 PREP me .
22 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , hearken H8085 VQI2MS thou H859 PPRO-2MS also H1571 CONJ unto the voice H6963 B-NMS of thine handmaid H8198 , and let me set H7760 a morsel H6595 of bread H3899 NMS before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee ; and eat H398 , that thou mayest have H1961 W-VQI3MS strength H3581 CMS , when H3588 CONJ thou goest H1980 VQY2MS on thy way H1870 .
23 But he refused H3985 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , I will not H3808 NADV eat H398 . But his servants H5650 , together with H1571 W-CONJ the woman H802 D-NFS , compelled H6555 him ; and he hearkened H8085 unto their voice H6963 . So he arose H6965 W-VQY3MS from the earth H776 , and sat H3427 W-VQY3MS upon H413 PREP the bed H4296 .
24 And the woman H802 had a fat H4770 calf H5695 in the house H1004 ; and she hasted H4116 , and killed H2076 it , and took H3947 W-VQY3FS flour H7058 , and kneaded H3888 it , and did bake H644 unleavened bread H4682 thereof :
25 And she brought H5066 it before H6440 Saul H7586 , and before H6440 WL-CMP his servants H5650 ; and they did eat H398 . Then they rose up H6965 , and went away H1980 W-VQY3MP that H1931 night H3915 .
