David i filisteernas här
28 Vid den tiden samlade filisteerna sina krigshärar för att strida mot Israel. Akish sade till David: ”Du vet väl att du och dina män måste dra ut i kriget med mig?” 2 David svarade Akish: ”Då ska du själv få se vad din tjänare kan göra.” ”Då så”, svarade Akish, ”du ska bli min livvakt[a] för alltid.”
Andebesvärjerskan i En-Dor
3 (A) Samuel var nu död, och hela Israel hade hållit dödsklagan över honom. De hade begravt honom i hans egen stad Rama. Och Saul hade drivit ut andebesvärjare och spåmän ur landet.
4 Filisteerna samlades och kom och slog läger vid Shunem. Då samlade också Saul hela Israel och de slog läger på Gilboa.[b] 5 Men när Saul såg filisteernas läger blev han rädd och greps av stor fruktan. 6 (B) Saul bad Herren om råd, men Herren svarade honom inte, varken genom drömmar eller genom urim[c] eller genom profeter. 7 Då sade Saul till sina tjänare: ”Sök upp en andebesvärjerska åt mig, så ska jag gå till henne och fråga henne.” Hans tjänare svarade: ”Det finns en andebesvärjerska i En-Dor[d].”
8 Saul gjorde sig oigenkännlig och tog på sig andra kläder och gav sig i väg med två av sina män. De kom till kvinnan om natten. ”Spå mig genom anden[e]”, sade han, ”och mana fram åt mig den jag säger dig.” 9 Men kvinnan sade till honom: ”Du vet ju vad Saul har gjort, han har utrotat andebesvärjare och spåmän ur landet. Varför lägger du en snara för mitt liv för att döda mig?” 10 Då gav Saul henne sin ed vid Herren och sade: ”Så sant Herren lever, ingen skuld ska drabba dig i denna sak.”
11 Kvinnan frågade: ”Vem ska jag mana fram åt dig?” Han svarade: ”Mana fram Samuel åt mig.” 12 Men när kvinnan fick se Samuel, skrek hon med hög röst och sade till Saul: ”Varför har du lurat mig? Du är ju Saul!” 13 Kungen sade till henne: ”Var inte rädd. Vad är det du ser?” Kvinnan svarade Saul: ”Jag ser ett gudaväsen komma upp ur jorden.” 14 Han frågade henne: ”Hur ser han ut?” Hon svarade: ”Det är en gammal man som kommer upp, insvept i en mantel.” Då förstod Saul att det var Samuel, och han böjde sig ner med ansiktet mot jorden och bugade sig.
15 (C) Samuel sade till Saul: ”Varför har du stört mig och manat fram mig?” Saul svarade: ”Jag är i stor nöd. Filisteerna har börjat krig mot mig, och Gud har lämnat mig och svarar mig inte mer, varken genom profeter eller genom drömmar. Därför har jag kallat på dig, för att du ska låta mig veta vad jag ska göra.” 16 (D) Samuel svarade: ”Varför frågar du mig, när Herren har lämnat dig och blivit din fiende? 17 (E) Herren har gjort vad han sade genom mig: Herren har ryckt riket ur din hand och gett det till en annan, till David. 18 (F) Eftersom du inte lydde Herrens röst och inte utförde hans brinnande vredesdom över Amalek, har Herren i dag gjort dig detta. 19 (G) Herren ska ge både dig och Israel i filisteernas hand, och i morgon ska du och dina söner vara hos mig. Även Israels läger ska Herren ge i filisteernas hand.”
20 Då föll Saul genast raklång till jorden, förfärad över Samuels ord. Han var också helt kraftlös, för han hade inte ätit något på ett helt dygn. 21 (H) Kvinnan gick fram till Saul, och när hon såg hur skräckslagen han var sade hon till honom: ”Se, din tjänarinna gjorde som du sade. Jag riskerade mitt liv och gjorde vad du bad mig om. 22 Så nu får också du lyssna till vad din tjänarinna har att säga: Låt mig sätta fram lite mat åt dig, så att du kan äta och hämta krafter innan du går din väg.” 23 Men han vägrade och sade: ”Jag vill inte äta.”
Då bad både hans tjänare och kvinnan honom så enträget att han lyssnade till dem. Han reste sig upp från marken och satte sig på bädden. 24 Kvinnan hade en gödkalv i huset, och den slaktade hon nu i all hast. Därefter tog hon mjöl och knådade det och bakade osyrat bröd av det. 25 Sedan satte hon fram det åt Saul och hans tjänare, och de åt. Därefter reste de sig och gick samma natt sin väg.

1 Samuel 28
King James Version
1 Samuel 28
King James Version
28 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men.
2 And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever.
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
4 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.
5 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
6 And when Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.
8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.
9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
10 And Saul sware to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.
16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?
17 And the Lord hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David:
18 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the Lord, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the Lord done this thing unto thee this day.
19 Moreover the Lord will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the Lord also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
20 Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.
22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.
23 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
24 And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:
25 And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.

28 In those days the Philistines gathered(A) their forces to fight against Israel. Achish said to David, “You must understand that you and your men will accompany me in the army.”
2 David said, “Then you will see for yourself what your servant can do.”
Achish replied, “Very well, I will make you my bodyguard(B) for life.”
Saul and the Medium at Endor
3 Now Samuel was dead,(C) and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his own town of Ramah.(D) Saul had expelled(E) the mediums and spiritists(F) from the land.
4 The Philistines assembled and came and set up camp at Shunem,(G) while Saul gathered all Israel and set up camp at Gilboa.(H) 5 When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror(I) filled his heart. 6 He inquired(J) of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him by dreams(K) or Urim(L) or prophets.(M) 7 Saul then said to his attendants, “Find me a woman who is a medium,(N) so I may go and inquire of her.”
“There is one in Endor,(O)” they said.
8 So Saul disguised(P) himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. “Consult(Q) a spirit for me,” he said, “and bring up for me the one I name.”
9 But the woman said to him, “Surely you know what Saul has done. He has cut off(R) the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap(S) for my life to bring about my death?”
10 Saul swore to her by the Lord, “As surely as the Lord lives, you will not be punished for this.”
11 Then the woman asked, “Whom shall I bring up for you?”
“Bring up Samuel,” he said.
12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me?(T) You are Saul!”
13 The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid. What do you see?”
The woman said, “I see a ghostly figure[a] coming up out of the earth.”(U)
14 “What does he look like?” he asked.
“An old man wearing a robe(V) is coming up,” she said.
Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.
15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?”
“I am in great distress,” Saul said. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed(W) from me. He no longer answers(X) me, either by prophets or by dreams.(Y) So I have called on you to tell me what to do.”
16 Samuel said, “Why do you consult me, now that the Lord has departed from you and become your enemy? 17 The Lord has done what he predicted through me. The Lord has torn(Z) the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors—to David. 18 Because you did not obey(AA) the Lord or carry out his fierce wrath(AB) against the Amalekites,(AC) the Lord has done this to you today. 19 The Lord will deliver both Israel and you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons(AD) will be with me. The Lord will also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”
20 Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, filled with fear because of Samuel’s words. His strength was gone, for he had eaten nothing all that day and all that night.
21 When the woman came to Saul and saw that he was greatly shaken, she said, “Look, your servant has obeyed you. I took my life(AE) in my hands and did what you told me to do. 22 Now please listen to your servant and let me give you some food so you may eat and have the strength to go on your way.”
23 He refused(AF) and said, “I will not eat.”
But his men joined the woman in urging him, and he listened to them. He got up from the ground and sat on the couch.
24 The woman had a fattened calf(AG) at the house, which she butchered at once. She took some flour, kneaded it and baked bread without yeast. 25 Then she set it before Saul and his men, and they ate. That same night they got up and left.
