|
|
2. And David said to Achish, By this you shall know that which your servant will do. And Achish said to David, Then I appoint you keeper of my head all the days.
|
2. And David H1732 said H559 to H413 Achish H397 , Surely H3651 thou H859 shalt know H3045 H853 what H834 thy servant H5650 can do H6213 . And Achish H397 said H559 to H413 David H1732 , Therefore H3651 will I make H7760 thee keeper H8104 of mine head H7218 forever H3605 H3117 .

3. And Samuel was dead. And all Israel had mourned for him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his city. And Saul had taken away the mediums and spirit-knowers out of the land.
|
3. Now Samuel H8050 was dead H4191 , and all H3605 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 those that had familiar spirits H178 , and the wizards H3049 , out of the land H4480 H776 .
|
|
4. And the Philistines had gathered and had come in and camped in Shunem. And Saul gathered all Israel, and they camped in Gilboa.
|
4. And the Philistines H6430 gathered themselves together H6908 , and came H935 and pitched H2583 in Shunem H7766 : and Saul H7586 gathered all Israel together H6908 H853 H3605 H3478 , and they pitched H2583 in Gilboa H1533 .
|
|
5. And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and his heart trembled and he greatly feared.
|
5. And when Saul H7586 saw H7200 H853 the host H4264 of the Philistines H6430 , he was afraid H3372 , and his heart H3820 greatly H3966 trembled H2729 .
|
|
6. And Saul asked of Jehovah, but Jehovah did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets.
|
6. And when Saul H7586 inquired H7592 of the LORD H3068 , the LORD H3068 answered H6030 him not H3808 , neither H1571 by dreams H2472 , nor H1571 by Urim H224 , nor H1571 by prophets H5030 .
|
|
7. And Saul said to his servants, Seek out for me a woman, a medium, and I will go to her and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, a woman, a medium, is in Endor.
|
7. Then said H559 Saul H7586 unto his servants H5650 , Seek H1245 me a woman H802 that hath H1172 a familiar spirit H178 , that I may go H1980 to H413 her , and inquire H1875 of her . And his servants H5650 said H559 to H413 him, Behold H2009 , there is a woman H802 that hath H1172 a familiar spirit H178 at Endor H5874 .
|
|
8. And Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes. And he and two of the men with him went; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, I beg you, divine for me by necromancy, and bring up to me him whom I say to you.
|
8. And Saul H7586 disguised himself H2664 , and put on H3847 other H312 raiment H899 , and he H1931 went H1980 , and two H8147 men H376 with H5973 him , and they came H935 to H413 the woman H802 by night H3915 : and he said H559 , I pray thee H4994 , divine H7080 unto me by the familiar spirit H178 , and bring H5927 me him up, H853 whom H834 I shall name H559 unto H413 thee.
|
|
9. And the woman said to him, Behold, you know that which Saul has done, that he has cut off mediums, and the spirit-knowers, out of the land. And why are you laying a snare for my life, to kill me?
|
9. And the woman H802 said H559 unto H413 him, Behold H2009 , thou H859 knowest H3045 H853 what H834 Saul H7586 hath done H6213 , how H834 he hath cut off H3772 H853 those that have familiar spirits H178 , and the wizards H3049 , out of H4480 the land H776 : wherefore H4100 then layest thou H859 a snare H5367 for my life H5315 , to cause me to die H4191 ?
|
|
10. And Saul swore to her by Jehovah, saying, As Jehovah lives, no evil shall happen to you because of this thing.
|
10. And Saul H7586 swore H7650 to her by the LORD H3068 , saying H559 , As the LORD H3068 liveth H2416 , there shall no H518 punishment H5771 happen H7136 to thee for this H2088 thing H1697 .
|
|
11. And the woman said, Whom shall I bring up to you? And he said, Bring up Samuel to me.
|
11. Then said H559 the woman H802 , H853 Whom H4130 shall I bring up H5927 unto thee? And he said H559 , Bring me up H5927 H853 Samuel H8050 .
|
|
12. And the woman saw Samuel, and cried out with a loud voice. And the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!
|
12. And when the woman H802 saw H7200 H853 Samuel H8050 , she cried H2199 with a loud H1419 voice H6963 : and the woman H802 spoke H559 to H413 Saul H7586 , saying H559 , Why H4100 hast thou deceived H7411 me? for thou H859 art Saul H7586 .
|
|
13. And the king said to her, Do not be afraid. For what have you seen? And the woman said to Saul, I have seen a god coming up out of the earth.
|
13. And the king H4428 said H559 unto her , Be not H408 afraid H3372 : for H3588 what H4100 sawest H7200 thou? And the woman H802 said H559 unto H413 Saul H7586 , I saw H7200 gods H430 ascending H5927 out of H4480 the earth H776 .
|
|
14. And he said to her, What is his appearance? And she said, An old man is coming up, and he is covered with a robe. And Saul knew that he was Samuel. And he bowed his face to the earth, and prostrated himself.
|
14. And he said H559 unto her, What H4100 form H8389 is he of? And she said H559 , An old H2205 man H376 cometh up H5927 ; and he H1931 is covered H5844 with a mantle H4598 . And Saul H7586 perceived H3045 that H3588 it was Samuel H8050 , and he H1931 stooped H6915 with his face H639 to the ground H776 , and bowed himself H7812 .
|
|
15. And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up. And Saul said, I am grievously distressed. And the Philistines are fighting against me, and God has turned from me and has not answered me any more, either by the hand of the prophets, or by dreams. And I called for you to make known to me what I should do.
|
15. And Samuel H8050 said H559 to H413 Saul H7586 , Why H4100 hast thou disquieted H7264 me , to bring me up H5927 H853 ? And Saul H7586 answered H559 , I am sore H3966 distressed H6887 ; for the Philistines H6430 make war H3898 against me , and God H430 is departed H5493 from H4480 H5921 me , and answereth H6030 me no H3808 more H5750 , neither H1571 by H3027 prophets H5030 , nor H1571 by dreams H2472 : therefore I have called H7121 thee , that thou mayest make known H3045 unto me what H4100 I shall do H6213 .
|
|
16. And Samuel said, And why do you ask me, since Jehovah has departed from you and is your foe?
|
16. Then said H559 Samuel H8050 , Wherefore H4100 then dost thou ask H7592 of me , seeing the LORD H3068 is departed H5493 from H4480 H5921 thee , and is become H1961 thine enemy H6145 ?
|
|
17. And Jehovah is doing for Himself as He spoke by my hand. And Jehovah is tearing the kingdom out of your hand, and is giving it to your neighbor, to David.
|
17. And the LORD H3068 hath done H6213 to him, as H834 he spoke H1696 by H3027 me : for the LORD H3068 hath rent H7167 H853 the kingdom H4467 out of thine hand H4480 H3027 , and given H5414 it to thy neighbor H7453 , even to David H1732 :
|
|
18. Because you did not listen to the voice of Jehovah, or execute the anger of His wrath on Amalek, on this account Jehovah is doing this thing to you today.
|
18. Because H834 thou obeyedst H8085 not H3808 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 , nor H3808 executedst H6213 his fierce H2740 wrath H639 upon Amalek H6002 , therefore H5921 H3651 hath the LORD H3068 done H6213 this H2088 thing H1697 unto thee this H2088 day H3117 .
|
|
19. Yea, Jehovah is also giving Israel into the hand of the Philistines along with you. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. And Jehovah will give the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
|
19. Moreover H1571 the LORD H3068 will also deliver H5414 H853 Israel H3478 with H5973 thee into the hand H3027 of the Philistines H6430 : and tomorrow H4279 shalt thou H859 and thy sons H1121 be with H5973 me : the LORD H3068 also H1571 shall deliver H5414 H853 the host H4264 of Israel H3478 into the hand H3027 of the Philistines H6430 .
|
|
20. And Saul hurried and fell the full length of his stature to the earth, and greatly feared from the words of Samuel. And there was no power in him, for he had not eaten food all that day, and all the night.
|
20. Then Saul H7586 fell H5307 straightway H4116 all along H4393 H6967 on the earth H776 , and was sore H3966 afraid H3372 , because of the words H4480 H1697 of Samuel H8050 : and H1571 there was H1961 no H3808 strength H3581 in him; for H3588 he had eaten H398 no H3808 bread H3899 all H3605 the day H3117 , nor all H3605 the night H3915 .
|
|
21. And the woman came to Saul. And she saw that he was much terrified, and said to him, Behold, your servant has listened to your voice, and I put my life in my hand, and I obeyed your words which you spoke to me.
|
21. And the woman H802 came H935 unto H413 Saul H7586 , and saw H7200 that H3588 he was sore H3966 troubled H926 , and said H559 unto H413 him, Behold H2009 , thine handmaid H8198 hath obeyed H8085 thy voice H6963 , and I have put H7760 my life H5315 in my hand H3709 , and have hearkened H8085 unto H853 thy words H1697 which H834 thou spokest H1696 unto H413 me.
|
|
22. And now please, you listen to the voice of your servant, and I will set before you a bit of bread; and eat, and there will be strength in you when you go on your way.
|
22. Now H6258 therefore , I pray thee H4994 , hearken H8085 thou H859 also H1571 unto the voice H6963 of thine handmaid H8198 , and let me set H7760 a morsel H6595 of bread H3899 before H6440 thee ; and eat H398 , that thou mayest have H1961 strength H3581 , when H3588 thou goest H1980 on thy way H1870 .
|
|
23. And he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants forced him, and the woman also. And he listened to their voices and rose from the earth and sat on the bed.
|
23. But he refused H3985 , and said H559 , I will not H3808 eat H398 . But his servants H5650 , together with H1571 the woman H802 , compelled H6555 him ; and he hearkened H8085 unto their voice H6963 . So he arose H6965 from the earth H4480 H776 , and sat H3427 upon H413 the bed H4296 .
|
|
24. And the woman had a fat calf in the house. And she hurried and slaughtered it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened cakes of it.
|
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 flour H7058 , and kneaded H3888 it , and did bake H644 unleavened bread H4682 thereof:
|
|
25. And she brought it near before Saul, and before his servants. And they ate, and rose up, and went on during that night.
|
25. And she brought H5066 it before H6440 Saul H7586 , and before H6440 his servants H5650 ; and they did eat H398 . Then they rose up H6965 , and went away H1980 that H1931 night H3915 .
