1 Samuel 28:19-25 - I will not eat

28:19,20

Samuel ends his message with a foretelling of the ensuing defeat of Israel, and the death of Saul and his sons. Saul falls to the ground with fear.  Saul is like the whole of humanity. He regrets the situation he is in, but will not face up to the reality of his own sin, and there is no real solution until we do so.

28:21-25

The woman sees the state that Saul is in, and then gets food ready for him so that he can be on his way. Maybe she wants to get rid of him. Saul, demonstrating his usual complete lack of wisdom and common sense, initially refuses to eat. However, his men and the woman urged him to eat, and Saul listened to them. It seems that the woman had quite a feast for him. So Saul and his men ate and then left that same night.
