All Israel from Dan to Beer Sheba realized that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the <sc>Lordsc>.

<p class="bodytext">When Saul realized<n id="1" /> that the <sc>Lordsc> was with David and that his<n id="2" /> daughter Michal loved David,<n id="3" />

David sent scouts and verified that Saul had indeed arrived.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="bodytext">They got up early the next morning and after worshiping the <sc>Lordsc>, they returned to their home at Ramah. Elkanah had marital relations with<n id="1" /> his wife Hannah, and the <sc>Lordsc> remembered<n id="2" /> her.

Then Saul threw his spear at Jonathan<n id="1" /> in order to strike him down. So Jonathan was convinced<n id="2" /> that his father had decided to kill David.

<p class="bodytext">When David realized that Saul was planning to harm him,<n id="1" /> he told Abiathar the priest, &#8220;Bring the ephod!&#8221;

He said to her, &#8220;What about his appearance?&#8221; She said, &#8220;An old man is coming up! He is wrapped in a robe!&#8221;p> <p class="bodytext">Then Saul realized it was Samuel, and he bowed his face toward the ground and kneeled down.
