Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.

Verse 22 is found in chapter 28 of 1 Samuel. Saul falls terrified after hearing the message and initially refuses to eat. The woman and her servants eventually persuade him to eat before leaving. The scene ends with the king preparing for a battle whose outcome he already knows. The contrast with David is notable: Saul attempts to control the future through forbidden means but receives only confirmation of an already established judgment.

So gehorche nun auch deiner Magd Stimme. Ich will dir einen Bissen Brot vorsetzen, daß du essest, daß du zu Kräften kommest und deine Straße gehest.
Ruégote pues, que tú también oigas la voz de tu sierva: pondré yo delante de ti un bocado de pan que comas, para que te corrobores, y vayas tu camino.
Ahora te ruego que tú también escuches a tu sierva. Déjame ponerte delante un poco de pan. Come para que tengas fuerzas cuando sigas tu camino».
Ecoute maintenant, toi aussi, la voix de ta servante, et laisse-moi t'offrir un morceau de pain, afin que tu manges pour avoir la force de te mettre en route.
Ora dunque, ascolta, ti prego, altresì ciò che ti dirà la tua servente; e lascia che io ti metta una fetta di pane davanti, e mangia, e tu avrai un poco di forza, quando tu ti rimetterai in cammino.
Agora, pois, ouve também tu as palavras da tua serva, e porei um bocado de pão diante de ti, e come, para que tenhas forças para te pores a caminho.
現在求你也聽婢女的話,讓我在你面前擺上一點食物,你吃了才有氣力上路。」
