1 Samuel 28:23

But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.

Cross-reference

In 2 Samuel 12:17, David similarly refuses food in distress and is urged by his servants — a parallel royal refusal to eat.

In 1 Kings 21:4, Ahab refuses to eat and lies on his bed in distress — a parallel reaction of a king in despair.
