1 Samuele 28:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 28:13

And the king said unto her, be not afraid
Meaning not of the apparition, but of him; since he had sworn no punishment should come upon her, and he should inviolably observe his oath: for what sawest thou? for as yet Saul himself saw not anything, the woman being between him and the apparition; or she might be in another room with her familiar spirit performing the operations when Samuel appeared:

and the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth;
a great personage, one of a majestic form, like the gods, or judges and civil magistrates, sometimes so called, as Kimchi and R. Isaiah rightly interpret it; and so the Targum,

``I saw an angel of the Lord;''

a person that looked like one; for not many came up with him, and particularly Moses, as say some Jewish writers F4.

1 Samuele 28:13 In-Context

11 Allora la donna gli disse: "Chi debbo farti salire?" Ed egli: "Fammi salire Samuele".
12 E quando la donna vide Samuele levò un gran grido e disse a Saul: "Perché m’hai ingannata? Tu sei Saul!"
13 Il re le disse: "Non temere; ma che vedi?" E la donna a Saul: "Vedo un essere sovrumano che esce di sotto terra".
14 Ed egli a lei: "Che forma ha?" Ella rispose: "E’ un vecchio che sale, ed è avvolto in un mantello". Allora Saul comprese ch’era Samuele, si chinò con la faccia a terra e gli si prostro dinanzi.
15 E Samuele disse a Saul: "Perché mi hai tu disturbato, facendomi salire?" Saul rispose: "Io sono in grande angustia, poiché i Filistei mi fanno guerra, e Dio si è ritirato da me e non mi risponde più né mediante i profeti né per via di sogni; perciò t’ho chiamato perché tu mi faccia sapere quel che ho da fare".
