And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night' — the meal ('vayyaqrībû lᵊpanê šāʾûl ûlᵊpanê ʿabadāyw vayyōklū') becomes a final human communion before the night's departure. Their rising and going ('vayyāqûmû vayyelkû balayyᴵl') marks a return to the world of the living, though Saul goes toward his death.
