In Book V, Abigail does not initially tell her husband what she did, but when she does, he has a heart attack and dies. David then takes her on as his wife, and Saul gives Michal to Palti, son of Laish. Saul then returns to Ziph with his men to find David. When David hears of this, he slips into Saul's camp by night, and again restrains his men from killing the king; instead he steals Saul's spear and water jug, leaving his own spear thrust into the ground by Saul's side. The next day, David reveals himself to Saul, showing the jug and spear as proof that he could have slain him. David then persuades Saul to reconcile with him; the two swear never to harm each other. Then David goes to Philistine King Achish and asks to be considered a vassal (although he is secretly working against the Philistines). The king bestows the city of Ziklag to David and his men. David then routs the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites nations, but he makes Achish think that he is marching against the Israelites. Meanwhile, the Philistines make war again against Saul, who Saul leads his army to face them at Mount Gilboa. Before the battle the king goes to consult the Witch of Endor. The medium, unaware of his identity, reminds him that the king has made witchcraft a capital offence, but he assures her that Saul will not harm her. She conjures the spirit of the prophet Samuel, who before his death had prophesied that Saul would lose the kingdom. The shade of Samuel tells the king that God will no longer hear his prayers and that the next day he will lose both the battle and his life. Saul collapses in fear, and the medium restores him with food.
