1 Samuel 28:3-4

3 Or, Samuel était mort, et tout Israël l'avait pleuré, et on l'avait enseveli à Rama, dans sa ville. Et Saül avait ôté du pays les magiciens et les devins.

4 Les Philistins assemblés, vinrent donc, et campèrent à Sunem; Saül aussi assembla tout Israël, et ils campèrent à Guilboa.

1 Samuel 28:3-4 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST SAMUEL 28

The Philistines gathering together, to fight with Israel, Saul trembled at it, not being able to get any answer from the Lord about it in any way whatever, 1Sa 28:1-6; upon which he applies to a woman that had a familiar spirit to bring him up Samuel, which she did, 1Sa 28:7-14; and what passed between Saul and Samuel, or at least the apparition in his form, is recorded, 1Sa 28:15-19; which so struck him, as to make him strengthless, and so melancholy, that he refused to eat until persuaded, or rather compelled, by the woman and his servants, 1Sa 28:20-25.
