1 SAMUEL CHAPTER 28



Achish intending war against Israel, relieth on David, 1Sa_28:1,2. Saul having destroyed the witches, yet, Samuel being dead, in his fear, forsaken of God, seeketh to a witch, 1Sa_28:3-8. She, encouraged by Saul, raiseth Samuel; of whom hearing his approaching ruin, he fainteth, 1Sa_28:9-20. The woman, with his servants, refresh him with meat, 1Sa_28:21-25.



The Philistines were encouraged by Samuel’s death, and Saul’s degeneration, and David’s presence with Achish.



Thou shalt go out with me to battle: this he saith, partly to try his sincerity; and partly in confidence of David’s fidelity.
