1 Samuel

¹⁴And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a robe. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance. ¹⁵And 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. ¹⁶And Samuel said, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is become thine adversary? ¹⁷And the Lord hath wrought for himself, as he spake by me: and the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David. ¹⁸Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the Lord and didst not execute his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the Lord done this thing unto thee this day. ¹⁹Moreover the Lord will deliver Israel also with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the Lord shall deliver the host of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines. ²⁰Then Saul fell straightway his full length upon 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.
