The Philistines encamp in Shunem, and the LORD doesn’t answer Saul

블레셋 사람이 수넴에 진 치고 여호와께서 사울에게 대답지 아니하심

1 Samuel 28:3–6: the text says, “Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had sent away those who had familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land.” The Philistines gather themselves together, and come and encamp in Shunem; and Saul gathers all Israel together, and they encamp in Gilboa. When Saul sees the army of the Philistines, he is afraid, and his heart trembles greatly. When Saul inquires of the LORD, the LORD doesn’t answer him by dreams, by Urim, or by prophets.
