1 Samuel 28 - Bíblia Online

Naqueles dias ajuntaram os filisteus as suas tropas para a guerra, a fim de pelejarem contra Israel. Disse Aquis a Davi: Fica sabendo que hás de ir comigo ao campo, tu e teus homens. 
Respondeu Davi a Aquis: Tu saberás, portanto, o que o teu servo há de fazer. Disse Aquis a Davi: Por isso te farei guarda da minha cabeça para sempre. 
Ora Samuel era morto; todo o Israel o tinha chorado, e enterraram-no em Ramá, que era a sua cidade. Saul tinha lançado fora da terra os que consultavam espíritos ou um espírito familiar. 
Ajuntaram-se os filisteus, e vieram acampar-se em Suném; ajuntou Saul todo o Israel, e acamparam-se em Gilboa. 
Vendo Saul o exército dos filisteus, foi tomado de medo, e tremeu muito o seu coração. 
Saul consultou a Jeová, porém ele não lhe respondeu nem por sonhos, nem por Urim, nem por profetas. 
Então disse Saul aos seus servos: Buscai-me uma mulher que consulte a um espírito familiar, para que eu vá consultá-la. Responderam-lhe os seus servos: Há em En-Dor uma mulher que consulta espírito familiar. 
Saul disfarçou-se e, tomando outros vestidos, foi, acompanhado de dois homens, e chegaram de noite à casa da mulher. Ele disse: Adivinha-me pelo espírito familiar e faze-me subir aquele que eu te disser. 
Respondeu-lhe a mulher: Eis que tu sabes o que fez Saul, como exterminou da terra os que consultam espíritos ou espírito familiar; por que me estás armando um laço à minha vida, para me fazeres morrer? 
Saul jurou-lhe por Jeová, dizendo: Pela vida de Jeová, nenhuma culpa te sobrevirá por causa disso. 
Perguntou-lhe a mulher: Quem te farei subir? Respondeu ele: Faze-me subir Samuel. 
Quando a mulher viu a Samuel, deu um grande grito, e disse a Saul: Por que me enganaste? pois tu és Saul. 
Respondeu-lhe o rei: Não tenhas medo; que vês tu? Disse a mulher a Saul: Vejo um deus subindo da terra. 
Perguntou-lhe ele: Como é a sua figura? Respondeu ela: Vem subindo um ancião, e está envolto numa capa. Entendeu Saul que era Samuel, prostrou-se com o rosto em terra e fez-lhe uma reverência. 
Disse Samuel a Saul: Por que me inquietaste, fazendo-me subir? Respondeu Saul: Estou mui angustiado, porque os filisteus me fazem guerra, e Deus se tem afastado de mim, e não me responde mais, nem por profetas nem por sonhos. Por isso te chamei, para que me fizesses saber o que hei de fazer. 
Disse Samuel: Para que me perguntas, visto que Jeová se tem afastado de ti e se fez teu inimigo? 
Jeová te fez, como pela minha boca te disse; Jeová rasgou o reino da tua mão, e o deu ao teu próximo, a Davi. 
Porque não obedeceste à voz de Jeová, e não executaste o furor da sua ira contra Amaleque, portanto isso te fez Jeová hoje. 
Jeová entregará também contigo Israel nas mãos dos filisteus. Amanhã tu e teus filhos estareis comigo; Jeová entregará o arraial de Israel nas mãos dos filisteus. 
Caiu imediatamente Saul estendido por terra, e foi tomado de grande medo, por causa das palavras de Samuel. Não havia forças nele, porque não tinha comido pão todo aquele dia nem toda aquela noite. 
Aproximou-se de Saul a mulher e, vendo que ele estava muito turbado, disse-lhe: Eis que a tua serva obedeceu à tua voz e, expondo a minha vida, dei ouvidos às palavras que me falaste. 
Agora ouve também tu a voz da tua serva, e permite que eu ponha diante de ti um bocado de pão; come para que tenhas forças e possas ir teu caminho. 
Ele, porém, o recusou e disse: Não comerei. Mas os servos, juntamente com a mulher, o constrangeram; e deu ouvidos à voz deles. Levantou-se do chão e sentou-se sobre o leito. 
A mulher tinha em casa um bezerro cevado, que se apressou a matar, e tomou farinha e, amassando-a, a cozeu em pães asmos. 
Pôs tudo diante de Saul e diante dos seus servos; e eles comeram. Então se levantaram e partiram naquela noite. 

Now in those days the Philistines got their forces together to make war on Israel. And Achish said to David, Certainly you and your men are to go out with me to the fight. 
And David said to Achish, You will see now what your servant will do. And Achish said to David, Then I will make you keeper of my head for ever. 
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel, after weeping for him, had put his body in its last resting-place in Ramah, his town. And Saul had put away from the land all those who had control of spirits and who made use of secret arts. 
And the Philistines came together and put their forces in position in Shunem; and Saul got all Israel together and they took up their positions in Gilboa. 
And when Saul saw the Philistine army he was troubled, and his heart was moved with fear. 
And when Saul went for directions to the Lord, the Lord gave him no answer, by a dream or by the Urim or by the prophets. 
Then Saul said to his servants, Get me a woman who has control of a spirit so that I may go to her and get directions. And his servants said to him, There is such a woman at En-dor. 
So Saul, putting on other clothing, so that he might not be seen to be the king, took two men with him and went to the woman by night; and he said, Now, with the help of the spirit which you have, make the person whose name I will give you come up. 
And the woman said to him, But you have knowledge of what Saul has done, how he has put away out of the land those who have control of spirits and the users of secret arts: why would you, by a trick, put me in danger of death? 
And Saul made an oath to her by the Lord, saying, By the living Lord, no punishment will come to you for this. 
Then the woman said, Who am I to let you see? And he said, Make Samuel come up for me. 
And the woman saw that it was Saul, and she gave a loud cry, and said to Saul, Why have you made use of deceit? for you are Saul. 
And the king said to her, Have no fear: what do you see? And the woman said to Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth. 
And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, It is an old man coming up covered with a robe. And Saul saw that it was Samuel, and with his face bent down to the earth he gave him honour. 
And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you made me come up, troubling my rest? And Saul in answer said, I am in great danger; for the Philistines are making war on me, and God has gone away from me and will no longer give me any answer, by the prophets or by dreams: so I have sent for you to make clear to me what I am to do. 
And Samuel said, Why do you put your questions to me, seeing that God has gone away from you and is on the side of him who is against you? 
And the Lord himself has done what I said: the Lord has taken the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbour David; 
Because you did not do what the Lord said, and did not give effect to his burning wrath against Amalek. So the Lord has done this thing to you today. 
And more than this, the Lord will give Israel up with you into the hands of the Philistines: and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me: and the Lord will give up the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines. 
Then Saul went down flat on the earth, and was full of fear because of Samuel's words: and there was no strength in him, for he had taken no food all that day or all that night. 
And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was in great trouble, and said to him, See now, your servant has given ear to your words, and I have put my life in danger by doing what you said. 
So now, give ear to the voice of your servant, and let me give you a little bread; and take some food to give you strength when you go on your way. 
But he would not, saying, I have no desire for food. But his servants, together with the woman, made him take food, and he gave way to them. So he got up from the earth, and took his seat on the bed. 
And the woman had in the house a young cow, made fat for food; and she put it to death straight away; and she took meal and got it mixed and made unleavened bread; 
And she put it before Saul and his servants, and they had a meal. Then they got up and went away the same night.
