And Saul inquired of the LORD, but the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets — Saul seeks guidance through all the legitimate channels ('vayyišʾal šāʾûl baYHWH'), yet receives nothing ('velo ʿānāhu YHWH lo baḥlumôt velo beʾûrim velo bǝnebîʾîm'). The threefold negation emphasizes divine silence, the withdrawal of covenant communication that marks God's judgment.
