1 Samuel 28:7-20

28:7

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Saul
<07586>

unto his servants
<05650>_,

Seek
<01245> (8761)

me a woman
<0802>

that hath
<01172>

a familiar spirit
<0178>_,

that I may go
<03212> (8799)

to her, and enquire
<01875> (8799)

of her. And his servants
<05650>

said
<0559> (8799)

to him, Behold, [there is] a woman
<0802>

that hath
<01172>

a familiar spirit
<0178>

at Endor
<05874>_.

28:8

And Saul
<07586>

disguised
<02664> (8691)

himself, and put on
<03847> (8799)

other
<0312>

raiment
<0899>_,

and he went
<03212> (8799)_,

and two
<08147>

men
<0582>

with him, and they came
<0935> (8799)

to the woman
<0802>

by night
<03915>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I pray thee, divine
<07080> (8798)

unto me by the familiar spirit
<0178>_,

and bring me [him] up
<05927> (8685)_,

whom I shall name
<0559> (8799)

unto thee.

28:9

And the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

what Saul
<07586>

hath done
<06213> (8804)_,

how he hath cut off
<03772> (8689)

those that have familiar spirits
<0178>_,

and the wizards
<03049>_,

out of the land
<0776>_:

wherefore then layest thou a snare
<05367> (8693)

for my life
<05315>_,

to cause me to die
<04191> (8687)_?

28:10

And Saul
<07586>

sware
<07650> (8735)

to her by the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

there shall
<0518>

no punishment
<05771>

happen
<07136> (8799)

to thee for this thing
<01697>_.

28:11

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the woman
<0802>_,

Whom shall I bring up
<05927> (8686)

unto thee? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring me up
<05927> (8685)

Samuel
<08050>_.

28:12

And when the woman
<0802>

saw
<07200> (8799)

Samuel
<08050>_,

she cried
<02199> (8799)

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>_:

and the woman
<0802>

spake
<0559> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Why hast thou deceived
<07411> (8765)

me? for thou [art] Saul
<07586>_.

28:13

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)_:

for what sawest
<07200> (8804)

thou? And the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

I saw
<07200> (8804)

gods
<0430>

ascending
<05927> (8802)

out of the earth
<0776>_.

28:14

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, What form
<08389>

[is] he of? And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

An old
<02205>

man
<0376>

cometh up
<05927> (8802)_;

and he [is] covered
<05844> (8802)

with a mantle
<04598>_.

And Saul
<07586>

perceived
<03045> (8799)

that it [was] Samuel
<08050>_,

and he stooped
<06915> (8799)

with [his] face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself. {What...: Heb. What is his form?}

28:15

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>_,

Why hast thou disquieted
<07264> (8689)

me, to bring me up
<05927> (8687)_?

And Saul
<07586>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I am sore
<03966>

distressed
<06887> (8804)_;

for the Philistines
<06430>

make war
<03898> (8737)

against me, and God
<0430>

is departed
<05493> (8804)

from me, and answereth
<06030> (8804)

me no more, neither by
<03027>

prophets
<05030>_,

nor by dreams
<02472>_:

therefore I have called
<07121> (8799)

thee, that thou mayest make known
<03045> (8687)

unto me what I shall do
<06213> (8799)_.

{by prophets: Heb. by the hand of prophets}

28:16

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Samuel
<08050>_,

Wherefore then dost thou ask
<07592> (8799)

of me, seeing the LORD
<03068>

is departed
<05493> (8804)

from thee, and is become thine enemy
<06145>_?

28:17

And the LORD
<03068>

hath done
<06213> (8799)

to him, as he spake
<01696> (8765)

by me
<03027>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath rent
<07167> (8799)

the kingdom
<04467>

out of thine hand
<03027>_,

and given
<05414> (8799)

it to thy neighbour
<07453>_,

[even] to David
<01732>_:

{to him: or, for himself} {me: Heb. mine hand}

28:18

Because
<0834>

thou obeyedst
<08085> (8804)

not the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

nor executedst
<06213> (8804)

his fierce
<02740>

wrath
<0639>

upon Amalek
<06002>_,

therefore hath the LORD
<03068>

done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>

unto thee this day
<03117>_.

28:19

Moreover the LORD
<03068>

will also deliver
<05414> (8799)

Israel
<03478>

with thee into the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_:

and to morrow
<04279>

[shalt] thou and thy sons
<01121>

[be] with me: the LORD
<03068>

also shall deliver
<05414> (8799)

the host
<04264>

of Israel
<03478>

into the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

28:20

Then Saul
<07586>

fell
<05307> (8799)

straightway
<04116> (8762)

all
<04393>

along
<06967>

on the earth
<0776>_,

and was sore
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

because of the words
<01697>

of Samuel
<08050>_:

and there was no strength
<03581>

in him; for he had eaten
<0398> (8804)

no bread
<03899>

all the day
<03117>_,

nor all the night
<03915>_.

{fell...: Heb. made haste, and fell with the fulness of his stature}
