Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 28:23:

• Kupsabiny: “When Saul was told like that, he refused. He said that he didn’t want to eat anything. But Saul’s people accepted/agreed with what that woman had said and told him to eat. Then Saul accepted to be provided with food, and he got up and sat on the bed.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “But Saul did not agree to eat food. Then his men also, supporting [lit.: taking] the advice of that woman also asked Saul to eat food. Then he agreed and got up from the ground and sat on the bed.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “But Saul refused. He said, ‘I will- not -eat.’ His men helped the woman to-urge him to-eat, so he agreed. He got-up and sat on something-to-lay-on/bed.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “But Saul refused. He said, ‘No, I will not eat anything.’ Then Saul’s servants also urged him to eat something, and finally he heeded what they said. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
