15 Then Samuel (his name is El) said to Saul (desired), “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” “I am deeply distressed,” replied Saul. “The Philistines (immigrants) are fighting against me, and God {Elohim} has turned away from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.” 16 “Why do you consult me,” asked Samuel (his name is El), “since the LORD {YHWH} has turned away from you and become your enemy? 17 He {YHWH} has done exactly what He spoke through me: The LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor David (beloved). 18 Because you did not obey the LORD {YHWH} or carry out His burning anger against Amalek (dweller in a valley), the LORD has done this to you today. 19 Moreover, the LORD {YHWH} will deliver Israel (he wrestles with God) with you into the hand of the Philistines (immigrants), and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. And the LORD will deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.” 1 Samuel 28:15-19, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
