6: And when inquiredH7592 SaulH7586 of Yahweh,H3068 and not,H3808 did answer himH6030 YahwehH3068 eitherH1571 by dreams,H2472 orH1571 by Urim,H0224 orH1571 by the prophets.H5030

7: And saidH0559 SaulH7586 to his servants,H5650 FindH1245 a womanH0802 who isH1172 a medium,H0178 that I may goH1980 to herH0413 and inquireH1875 and saidH0559 his servantsH5650 to himH0413 in fact [there is],H2009 a womanH0802 who isH1172 a mediumH0178 En Dor.H5874

10: and sworeH7650 SaulH7586 by Yahweh,H3068 saying,H0559 [As] lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 noH0518 shall come upon youH7136 punishmentH5771 for thingH1697 this.H2088

11: And saidH0559 the woman,H0802 -H0853 WhomH4310 shall I bring upH5927 and he said,H0559 -H0853 SamuelH8050 bring upH5927

12: And when sawH7200 the womanH0802 -H0853 Samuel,H8050 and she cried outH2199 with a voice-H6963 loudH1419 and spokeH0559 the womanH0802 toH0413 Saul,H7586 saying,H0559 whyH4100 have you deceived meH7411 for you [are]H0859 Saul.H7586

14: So he saidH0559 what [is]H4100 his formH8389 and she said,H0559 An manH0376 oldH2205 is coming up-H5927 and heH1931 [is] covered withH5844 a mantle.H4598 And perceivedH3045 SaulH7586 thatH3588 Samuel,H8050 it [was]H1931 and he stoopedH6915 with [his] faceH0639 to the ground,H0776 and bowed down.H7812

15: And saidH0559 SamuelH8050 toH0413 Saul,H7586 whyH4100 have you disturbed meH7264 by bringing upH5927 meH0853 and answered,H0559 SaulH7586 distressed-H6887 deeplyH3966 for the PhilistinesH6430 make warH3898 and GodH0430 has departedH5493 from meH5921 and notH3808 does answer meH6030 anymore,H5750 neitherH1571 byH3027 prophets,H5030 norH1571 by dreams-H2472 therefore I have calledH7121 that you may reveal to meH3045 whatH4100 I should do.H6213

16: And saidH0559 Samuel,H8050 then whyH4100 do you ask meH7592 YahwehH3068 seeing has departedH5493 from youH5921 and has becomeH1961 your enemy?H6145

17: and has doneH6213 YahwehH3068 asH0834 He spokeH1696 by meH3027 forH7167 YahwehH3068 has tornH0853 the kingdomH4467 out of your hand,H3027 and given itH5414 to your neighbor,H7453 David.H1732

18: BecauseH0834 notH3808 you did obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of Yahweh,H3068 norH3808 executeH6213 fierceH2740 His wrathH0639 upon Amalek,H6002 uponH5921 thusH3651 thingH1697 thisH2088 has doneH6213 YahwehH3068 dayH3117 this.H2088

19: Moreover will deliverH5414 YahwehH3068 alsoH1571 -H0853 IsraelH3478 with youH5973 into the handH3027 of the Philistines,H6430 and tomorrowH4279 youH0859 and your sons [will be]H1121 with meH5973 alsoH1571 -H0853 the armyH4264 of IsraelH3478 will deliverH5414 YahwehH3068 into the handH3027 of the Philistines.H6430

20: And immediatelyH4116 SaulH7586 and fellH5307 allH4393 full lengthH6967 on the ground,H0776 and was afraid,H3372 dreadfullyH3966 because of the wordsH1697 of Samuel-H8050 andH1571 strengthH3581 noH3808 there wasH1961 forH3588 noH3808 he had eatenH0398 foodH3899 allH3605 day,H3117 or allH3605 night.H3915

21: And cameH0935 the womanH0802 toH0413 Saul,H7586 and sawH7200 thatH3588 he was troubled,H0926 severelyH3966 and saidH0559 to himH0413 Look,H2009 has obeyedH8085 your maidservantH8198 your voice,H6963 and I have putH7760 my lifeH5315 in my hands,H3709 and heededH8085 -H0853 the wordsH1697 whichH0834 you spokeH1696 to me.H0413

22: Therefore nowH6258 heedH8085 please,H4994 alsoH1571 youH0859 the voiceH6963 of your maidservant,H8198 and let me setH7760 before youH6440 a pieceH6595 of breadH3899 and eat,H0398 that may haveH1961 strength,H3581 whenH3588 you goH1980 on [your] way.H1870

23: But he refused,H3985 and said,H0559 notH3808 I will eat.H0398 So urgedH6555 his servants,H5650 and together withH1571 the woman,H0802 and he heededH8085 their voice.H6963 And he aroseH6965 from the ground,H0776 and satH3427 onH0413 the bed.H4296

24: And the woman hadH0802 a calfH5695 fattedH4770 in the house-H1004 and she hastened,H4116 and to kill itH2076 and she tookH3947 flour,H7058 and kneaded [it]H3888 and baked from itH0644 unleavened bread.H4682

25: So she brought [it]H5066 beforeH6440 Saul,H7586 andH6440 his servants-H5650 and they ate.H0398 And they rose,H6965 and went awayH1980 nightH3915 that.H1931
