1 Samuel 28
Reina-Valera 1960
28 Aconteció en aquellos días, que los filisteos reunieron sus fuerzas para pelear contra Israel. Y dijo Aquis a David: Ten entendido que has de salir conmigo a campaña, tú y tus hombres. 2 Y David respondió a Aquis: Muy bien, tú sabrás lo que hará tu siervo. Y Aquis dijo a David: Por tanto, yo te constituiré guarda de mi persona durante toda mi vida.
Saúl y la adivina de Endor
3 Ya Samuel había muerto, y todo Israel lo había lamentado, y le habían sepultado en Ramá, su ciudad.(A) Y Saúl había arrojado de la tierra a los encantadores y adivinos.(B) 4 Se juntaron, pues, los filisteos, y vinieron y acamparon en Sunem; y Saúl juntó a todo Israel, y acamparon en Gilboa. 5 Y cuando vio Saúl el campamento de los filisteos, tuvo miedo, y se turbó su corazón en gran manera. 6 Y consultó Saúl a Jehová; pero Jehová no le respondió ni por sueños, ni por Urim,(C) ni por profetas. 7 Entonces Saúl dijo a sus criados: Buscadme una mujer que tenga espíritu de adivinación, para que yo vaya a ella y por medio de ella pregunte. Y sus criados le respondieron: He aquí hay una mujer en Endor que tiene espíritu de adivinación.
8 Y se disfrazó Saúl, y se puso otros vestidos, y se fue con dos hombres, y vinieron a aquella mujer de noche; y él dijo: Yo te ruego que me adivines por el espíritu de adivinación, y me hagas subir a quien yo te dijere. 9 Y la mujer le dijo: He aquí tú sabes lo que Saúl ha hecho, cómo ha cortado de la tierra a los evocadores y a los adivinos. ¿Por qué, pues, pones tropiezo a mi vida, para hacerme morir? 10 Entonces Saúl le juró por Jehová, diciendo: Vive Jehová, que ningún mal te vendrá por esto. 11 La mujer entonces dijo: ¿A quién te haré venir? Y él respondió: Hazme venir a Samuel. 12 Y viendo la mujer a Samuel, clamó en alta voz, y habló aquella mujer a Saúl, diciendo: 13 ¿Por qué me has engañado? pues tú eres Saúl. Y el rey le dijo: No temas. ¿Qué has visto? Y la mujer respondió a Saúl: He visto dioses que suben de la tierra. 14 Él le dijo: ¿Cuál es su forma? Y ella respondió: Un hombre anciano viene, cubierto de un manto. Saúl entonces entendió que era Samuel, y humillando el rostro a tierra, hizo gran reverencia.
15 Y Samuel dijo a Saúl: ¿Por qué me has inquietado haciéndome venir? Y Saúl respondió: Estoy muy angustiado, pues los filisteos pelean contra mí, y Dios se ha apartado de mí, y no me responde más, ni por medio de profetas ni por sueños; por esto te he llamado, para que me declares lo que tengo que hacer. 16 Entonces Samuel dijo: ¿Y para qué me preguntas a mí, si Jehová se ha apartado de ti y es tu enemigo? 17 Jehová te ha hecho como dijo por medio de mí; pues Jehová ha quitado el reino de tu mano, y lo ha dado a tu compañero,(D) David. 18 Como tú no obedeciste(E) a la voz de Jehová, ni cumpliste el ardor de su ira contra Amalec, por eso Jehová te ha hecho esto hoy. 19 Y Jehová entregará a Israel también contigo en manos de los filisteos; y mañana estaréis conmigo, tú y tus hijos; y Jehová entregará también al ejército de Israel en mano de los filisteos.
20 Entonces Saúl cayó en tierra cuan grande era, y tuvo gran temor por las palabras de Samuel; y estaba sin fuerzas, porque en todo aquel día y aquella noche no había comido pan. 21 Entonces la mujer vino a Saúl, y viéndolo turbado en gran manera, le dijo: He aquí que tu sierva ha obedecido a tu voz, y he arriesgado mi vida, y he oído las palabras que tú me has dicho. 22 Te ruego, pues, que tú también oigas la voz de tu sierva; pondré yo delante de ti un bocado de pan para que comas, a fin de que cobres fuerzas, y sigas tu camino. 23 Y él rehusó diciendo: No comeré. Pero porfiaron con él sus siervos juntamente con la mujer, y él les obedeció. Se levantó, pues, del suelo, y se sentó sobre una cama. 24 Y aquella mujer tenía en su casa un ternero engordado, el cual mató luego; y tomó harina y la amasó, y coció de ella panes sin levadura. 25 Y lo trajo delante de Saúl y de sus siervos; y después de haber comido, se levantaron, y se fueron aquella noche.

Saul and the Woman of En-dor
28 Now it happened in those days that (A)the Philistines gathered their armed camps for war, to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, “Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the camp, you and your men.” 2 And David said to Achish, “Very well, you shall know what your servant can do.” So Achish said to David, “Very well, I will make you [a]my bodyguard (B)for life.”
3 Now (C)Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him (D)in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed from the land those who (E)were mediums and spiritists. 4 So the Philistines gathered together and came and camped (F)in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they camped in (G)Gilboa. 5 Saul saw the camp of the Philistines and was afraid and his heart trembled greatly. 6 (H)So Saul asked of Yahweh, but (I)Yahweh did not answer him, either by (J)dreams or by (K)Urim or by prophets. 7 So Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him, “Behold, (L)there is a woman who is a medium at (M)En-dor.”
8 Then Saul (N)disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said, “(O)Divine for me, please, and (P)bring up for me whom I shall say to you.” 9 But the woman said to him, “Behold, you know (Q)what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who are mediums and spiritists from the land. Why are you then laying a snare for my life to bring about my death?” 10 Then Saul swore to her by Yahweh, saying, “As Yahweh lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing.” 11 Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” And he said, “Bring up Samuel for me.” 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.” 13 And the king said to her, “Do not be afraid; but what do you see?” And the woman said to Saul, “I see a [b]divine being coming up out of the earth.” 14 And he said to her, “What is his form?” And she said, “An old man is coming up, and (R)he is wrapped with a robe.” And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and (S)he bowed with his [c]face to the ground and prostrated himself.
15 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” And Saul answered, “I am greatly distressed, for the Philistines are waging war against me, and (T)God has turned away from me and (U)no longer answers me, either by the hand of the prophets or by dreams; therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I should do.” 16 And Samuel said, “Why then do you ask me, since Yahweh has turned away from you and has become your adversary? 17 So Yahweh has done [d]accordingly (V)as He spoke by my hand, for Yahweh has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, to David. 18 As (W)you did not listen to the voice of Yahweh and did not execute His burning anger on Amalek, so Yahweh has done this thing to you this day. 19 Moreover Yahweh will also give over Israel along with you into the hands of the Philistines, therefore tomorrow (X)you and your sons will be with me. Indeed Yahweh will give over the camp of Israel into the hands of the Philistines!”
20 Then Saul quickly fell full length upon the ground and was very afraid because of the words of Samuel; also there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no [e]food all day and all night. 21 And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was terrified and said to him, “Behold, your servant-woman has listened to your voice, and (Y)I have [f]taken my life in my hand and have listened to your words which you spoke to me. 22 So now also, please listen to the voice of your servant-woman, and let me set a piece of bread before you that you may eat and have strength when you go on your way.” 23 But he refused and said, “(Z)I will not eat.” (AA)However, his servants together with the woman urged him, and he listened to [g]them. So he arose from the ground and sat on (AB)the bed. 24 And the woman had a (AC)fattened calf in the house, and she quickly sacrificed it; and she (AD)took flour, kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread from it. 25 And she brought it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they arose and went away that night.

Saul Consults a Medium
28 Now (A)it happened in those days that the Philistines gathered their armies together for war, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, “You assuredly know that you will go out with me to battle, you and your men.”
2 So David said to Achish, “Surely you know what your servant can do.”
And Achish said to David, “Therefore I will make you one of my chief guardians forever.”
Saul Consults a Medium(B)
3 Now (C)Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him in (D)Ramah, in his own city. And Saul had put (E)the mediums and the spiritists out of the land.
4 Then the Philistines gathered together, and came and encamped at (F)Shunem. So Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped at (G)Gilboa. 5 When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was (H)afraid, and his heart trembled greatly. 6 And when Saul inquired of the Lord, (I)the Lord did not answer him, either by (J)dreams or (K)by Urim or by the prophets.
7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, (L)that I may go to her and inquire of her.”
And his servants said to him, “In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor.”
8 So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And (M)he said, “Please conduct a séance for me, and bring up for me the one I shall name to you.”
9 Then the woman said to him, “Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has (N)cut off the mediums and the spiritists from the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?”
10 And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, “As the Lord lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing.”
11 Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up for you?”
And he said, “Bring up Samuel for me.”
12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!”
13 And the king said to her, “Do not be afraid. What did you see?”
And the woman said to Saul, “I saw (O)a[a] spirit ascending out of the earth.”
14 So he said to her, “What is his form?”
And she said, “An old man is coming up, and he is covered with (P)a mantle.” And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground and bowed down.
15 Now Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you (Q)disturbed me by bringing me up?”
And Saul answered, “I am deeply distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and (R)God has departed from me and (S)does not answer me anymore, neither by prophets nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may reveal to me what I should do.”
16 Then Samuel said: “So why do you ask me, seeing the Lord has departed from you and has become your enemy? 17 And the Lord has done for [b]Himself (T)as He spoke by me. For the Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David. 18 (U)Because you did not obey the voice of the Lord nor execute His fierce wrath upon (V)Amalek, therefore the Lord has done this thing to you this day. 19 Moreover the Lord will also deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with (W)me. The Lord will also deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
20 Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, and was dreadfully afraid because of the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day or all night.
21 And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was severely troubled, and said to him, “Look, your maidservant has obeyed your voice, and I have (X)put my life in my hands and heeded the words which you spoke to me. 22 Now therefore, please, heed also the voice of your maidservant, and let me set a piece of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way.”
23 But he refused and said, “I will not eat.”
So his servants, together with the woman, urged him; and he heeded their voice. Then he arose from the ground and sat on the bed. 24 Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she hastened to kill it. And she took flour and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread from it. 25 So she brought it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they rose and went away that night.
