1And it came to pass in those days, that the P’lishtim [Immigrants] gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. And Akhish [meaning disputed; I will blacken (or terrify) or only a man] said unto David [beloved], Know youⁱ assuredly, that youⁱ shall go out with me to battle, youⁱ and youⁱ men. 2And David [beloved] said to Akhish [meaning disputed; I will blacken (or terrify) or only a man], Surely youⁱ shall know what youⁱ servant can do. And Akhish [meaning disputed; I will blacken (or terrify) or only a man] said to David [beloved], Therefore will I make youⁱ keeper of my head forever.

3Now Sh’mu’el [His name is El] was dead, and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah [Hill], even in his own city. And Sha’ul [desired] had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. 4And the P’lishtim [Immigrants] gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem [Double Resting Place]: and Sha’ul [desired] gathered all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] together, and they pitched in Gilboa [swollen heap]. 5And when Sha’ul [desired] saw the host of the P’lishtim [Immigrants], he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled. 6And when Sha’ul [desired] enquired of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim [Lights], nor by prophets. 7Then said Sha’ul [desired] unto his servants, Seek me a woman that has 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 has a familiar spirit at ‘Ein-Dor [spring of dwelling].

8And Sha’ul [desired] disguised himself, and put on other clothing, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray youⁱ, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me [him] up, whom I shall name unto youⁱ. 9And the woman said unto him, Behold, youⁱ know what Sha’ul [desired] has done, how he has cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then lay youⁱ a snare for my life, to cause me to die? 10And Sha’ul [desired] swore to her by the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), saying, [As] the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) lives, there shall no punishment happen to youⁱ for this thing. 11Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto youⁱ? And he said, Bring me up Sh’mu’el [His name is El]. 12And when the woman saw Sh’mu’el [His name is El], she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spoke to Sha’ul [desired], saying, Why have youⁱ deceived me? for youⁱ [are] Sha’ul [desired]. 13And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what saw youⁱ? And the woman said unto Sha’ul [desired], I saw gods ascending out of the earth. 14And he said unto her, What form [is] he of? And she said, An old man comes up; and he [is] covered with a Mantle (cloak; covering garment) (cloak). And Sha’ul [desired] perceived that it [was] Sh’mu’el [His name is El], and he stooped with [his] face to the ground, and bowed himself.

15And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said to Sha’ul [desired], Why have youⁱ disquieted me, to bring me up? And Sha’ul [desired] answered, I am sore distressed; for the P’lishtim [Immigrants] make war against me, and God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] is departed from me, and answer me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called youⁱ, that youⁱ may make known unto me what I shall do. 16Then said Sh’mu’el [His name is El], For what reason then do youⁱ ask of me, seeing the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) is departed from youⁱ, and is become yourⁱ enemy? 17And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has done to him, as he spoke by me: for the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has rent the kingdom out of yourⁱ hand, and given it to yourⁱ neighbour, [even] to David [beloved]: 18Because youⁱ obeyed not the voice of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), nor executed his fierce wrath upon ‘Amalek [Dweller in a Valley], therefore has the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) done this thing unto youⁱ this day. 19Moreover the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will also deliver Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] with youⁱ into the hand of the P’lishtim [Immigrants]: and tomorrow [shall] youⁱ and youⁱ sons [be] with me: the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) also shall deliver the host of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] into the hand of the P’lishtim [Immigrants].

20Then Sha’ul [desired] fell immediately all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Sh’mu’el [His name is El]: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night. 21And the woman came unto Sha’ul [desired], and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, yourⁱ female servant has obeyed yourⁱ voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have listened unto yourⁱ words which youⁱ spoke unto me. 22Now therefore, I pray youⁱ, hearken youⁱ also unto the voice of yourⁱ female servant, and let me set a morsel of bread before youⁱ; and eat, that youⁱ may have strength, when youⁱ go on youⁱ way. 23But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he listened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed. 24And 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: 25And she brought [it] before Sha’ul [desired], and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
