WEBVTT 00:01.760 --> 00:05.820 And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered their armies together 00:05.820 --> 00:07.580 for warfare, to fight with Israel. 00:08.140 --> 00:13.520 And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly that thou shalt go out with me 00:13.520 --> 00:15.620 to battle, thou and thy men. 00:15.880 --> 00:19.700 And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. 00:20.020 --> 00:26.080 And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever. 00:26.080 --> 00:30.700 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, 00:30.900 --> 00:31.940 even in his own city. 00:32.700 --> 00:36.000 And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, 00:36.120 --> 00:36.800 out of the land. 00:37.280 --> 00:41.260 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came, and pitched in Shunem. 00:41.780 --> 00:45.460 And Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa. 00:46.100 --> 00:50.240 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart 00:50.240 --> 00:51.400 greatly trembled. 00:51.400 --> 00:56.620 And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not, neither by 00:56.620 --> 00:59.500 dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. 01:00.360 --> 01:03.660 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar 01:03.660 --> 01:06.560 spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her. 01:06.780 --> 01:10.500 And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar 01:10.500 --> 01:11.520 spirit at Endor. 01:11.860 --> 01:16.460 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men 01:16.460 --> 01:16.820 with him. 01:17.260 --> 01:21.680 And they came to the woman by night, and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me 01:21.680 --> 01:25.820 by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee. 01:26.120 --> 01:30.180 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, 01:30.600 --> 01:33.960 how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, 01:34.140 --> 01:34.900 out of the land. 01:35.940 --> 01:39.880 Wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die? 01:40.340 --> 01:44.160 And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liveth, there shall no 01:44.160 --> 01:46.100 punishment happen to thee for this thing. 01:46.340 --> 01:48.620 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? 01:48.620 --> 01:50.660 And he said, Bring me up Samuel. 01:50.940 --> 01:54.960 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice, and the woman 01:54.960 --> 01:57.720 spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? 01:58.120 --> 01:59.420 for thou art Saul. 01:59.720 --> 02:03.200 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid, for what sawest thou? 02:03.560 --> 02:07.700 And the woman said unto Saul, I saw God's ascending out of the earth. 02:07.840 --> 02:10.000 And he said unto her, What form is he of? 02:10.180 --> 02:14.300 And she said, An old man cometh up, and he is covered with a mantle. 02:14.300 --> 02:18.760 And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the 02:18.760 --> 02:20.300 ground, and bowed himself. 02:21.340 --> 02:26.080 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? 02:26.360 --> 02:30.980 And Saul answered, I am sore distressed, for the Philistines make war against me, 02:31.020 --> 02:36.060 and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets nor by 02:36.060 --> 02:36.540 dreams. 02:36.880 --> 02:41.040 Therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do. 02:41.240 --> 02:46.720 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed 02:46.720 --> 02:48.360 from thee, and is become thine enemy? 02:49.040 --> 02:52.140 And the Lord hath done to him as he spake by me. 02:52.500 --> 02:56.560 For the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, 02:56.860 --> 02:57.700 even to David. 02:58.380 --> 03:04.220 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the Lord, nor executest his fierce wrath upon 03:04.220 --> 03:04.680 Amalek. 03:05.360 --> 03:08.940 Therefore hath the Lord done this thing unto thee this day. 03:08.940 --> 03:13.220 Moreover the Lord will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the 03:13.220 --> 03:17.240 Philistines, and tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me. 03:17.800 --> 03:22.400 The Lord also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines. 03:22.860 --> 03:27.000 Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, 03:27.380 --> 03:28.780 because of the words of Samuel. 03:29.300 --> 03:32.840 And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all the day, 03:33.120 --> 03:33.880 nor all the night. 03:34.560 --> 03:38.720 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, 03:38.720 --> 03:44.020 Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, 03:44.160 --> 03:47.360 and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me. 03:48.320 --> 03:53.100 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, 03:53.320 --> 03:57.660 and let me set a morsel of bread before thee, and eat, that thou mayest have 03:57.660 --> 03:59.500 strength when thou goest on thy way. 03:59.800 --> 04:02.380 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. 04:02.640 --> 04:06.680 But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him, and he hearkened unto their 04:06.680 --> 04:07.080 voice. 04:07.580 --> 04:10.020 So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed. 04:10.460 --> 04:13.960 And the woman had a fat calf in the house, and she hasted, and killed it, 04:14.140 --> 04:17.460 and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof. 04:17.960 --> 04:21.220 And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants, and they did eat. 04:21.700 --> 04:24.020 Then they rose up, and went away that night.
