| Summary: | This paper investigates the narratives in 1 Sam 9 and 1 Sam 28 in light of the broader background of the sacrificial context in the first book of Samuel. Specifically, this study shows how the episodes, united by the scene of a banquet and the sharing of the sacred meal, constitute the parts of a defined symbolic system that, in its outcomes, can describe, define, and direct the relationships between those participating in the ritual and the deity. Through the example of Saul’s banquets, first with Samuel and then a necromancer in the village of En Dor, the text of 1Sam defines a precise hierarchy between cultic practice and the nascent monarchy in Israel. |
