Maka dengan sekonyong-konyong rebahlah Saul terjerumus sepanjang tubuhnya serta sangat ketakutanlah ia dari karena perkataan Semuel itu, dan tiada lagi kuat dalamnya, karena sehari semalam itu satupun tiada dimakannya.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth,.... Fell at his full length at once, as if he had been thunderstruck, or pierced through with a dart or sword:
and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel; as he supposed they were, whose words never failed:
and there was no strength in him: to rise up again, he was quite dispirited and strengthless:
for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night; which contributed the more to his weakness; not only his fears, but not eating any food, occasioned his weakness, and that through want of an appetite, by reason of the great concern of his mind in his present troubles.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 28:20. Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth. — Literally, he fell with his own length, or with the fullness of his stature. He was so overwhelmed with this most dreadful message, that he swooned away, and thus fell at his own length upon the ground. The woman, being terrified, had probably withdrawn to some distance at the first appearance of the prophet; and Saul was left alone with Samuel. After some short time, the woman came again unto Saul, found him sore troubled, and offered him those succours which humanity dictated.
