Bible. Samuel, 1st
With me... That is, in the state of the dead, and in another world,
though not in the same place.
28:20. And forthwith Saul fell all along on the ground; for he was
frightened with the words of Samuel, and there was no strength in him,
for he had eaten no bread all that day.
28:21. And the woman came to Saul, (for he was very much troubled) and
said to him: Behold thy handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put
my life in my hand: and I hearkened unto the words which thou spokest to
me.
28:22. Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also to the voice of thy
handmaid, and let me set before thee a morsel of bread, that thou mayst
eat and recover strength, and be able to go on thy journey.
28:23. But he refused, and said: I will not eat. But his servants and
the woman forced him, and at length hearkening to their voice, he arose
from the ground, and sat upon the bed.
28:24. Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she made haste
and killed it: and taking meal, kneaded it, and baked some unleavened
bread,
28:25. And set it before Saul, and before his servants. And when they
had eaten they rose up, and walked all that night.
1 Kings Chapter 29
David going with the Philistines is sent back by their princes.
29:1. Now all the troops of the Philistines were gathered together to
Aphec: and Israel also encamped by the fountain, which is in Jezrahel.
29:2. And the lords of the Philistines marched with their hundreds and
their thousands: but David and his men were in the rear with Achis.
29:3. And the princes of the Philistines said to Achis: What mean these
Hebrews? And Achis said to the princes of the Philistines: Do you not
know David who was the servant of Saul, the king of Israel, and hath
been with me many days, or years, and I have found no fault in him,
since the day that he fled over to me until this day?
29:4. But the prices of the Philistines were angry with him, and they
said to him: Let this man return, and abide in his place, which thou
hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest he
be an adversary to us, when we shall begin to fight: for how can he
otherwise appease his master, but with our heads?
29:5. Is not this David, to whom they sung in their dances, saying: Saul
slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
29:6. Then Achis called David, and said to him: As the Lord liveth, thou
art upright and good in my sight: and so is thy going out, and thy
coming in with me in the army: and I have not found any evil in thee,
since the day that thou camest to me unto this day: but thou pleasest
not the lords.
29:7. Return therefore, and go in peace, and offend not the eyes of the
princes of the Philistines.
29:8. And David said to Achis: But what have I done, or what hast thou
found in me thy servant, from the day that I have been in thy sight
until this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my
lord the king?
