1 Samuel 28:1-6

Saul and the Woman of En‑dor

Now it happened in those days that ^athe Philistines gathered their armed camps for war, to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, “Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the camp, you and your men.” 2 And David said to Achish, “Very well, you shall know what your servant can do.” So Achish said to David, “Very well, I will make you ¹my bodyguard ^afor life.”
3 Now ^aSamuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him ^bin Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed from the land those who ^cwere mediums and spiritists. 4 So the Philistines gathered together and came and camped ^ain Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they camped in ^bGilboa. 5 Saul saw the camp of the Philistines and was afraid and his heart trembled greatly. 6 ^aSo Saul asked of Yahweh, but ^bYahweh did not answer him, either by ^cdreams or by ^dUrim or by prophets.
