1 Samuel 28:15

Saul And The Medium

¹⁴ And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, It is an old man coming up covered with a robe. And Saul saw that it was Samuel, and with his face bent down to the earth he gave him honour. ¹⁵ And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you made me come up, troubling my rest? And Saul in answer said, I am in great danger; for the Philistines are making war on me, and God has gone away from me and will no longer give me any answer, by the prophets or by dreams: so I have sent for you to make clear to me what I am to do. ¹⁶ And Samuel said, Why do you put your questions to me, seeing that God has gone away from you and is on the side of him who is against you?
