Saul Collapses and Is Revived
1 Samuel 28:20-25
20
Immediately Saul fell flat on the ground, terrified by the words of Samuel. And his strength was gone, because he had not eaten anything all that day and night.
21
When the woman came to Saul and saw how distraught he was, she said to him, “Look, your maidservant has obeyed your voice. I took my life in my hands and did as you told me.
22
Now please listen to your servant and let me set a morsel of bread before you so you may eat and have the strength to go on your way.”
23
Saul refused, saying, “I will not eat.” But his servants joined the woman in urging him, and he heeded their voice. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
24
The woman had a fattened calf at her house, and she quickly slaughtered it. She also took flour, kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread.
25
She served it to Saul and his servants, and they ate. And that night they got up and left.
