1 Samuel 28:3-10
New King James Version
Saul Consults a Medium(A)
3 Now (B)Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him in (C)Ramah, in his own city. And Saul had put (D)the mediums and the spiritists out of the land.
4 Then the Philistines gathered together, and came and encamped at (E)Shunem. So Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped at (F)Gilboa. 5 When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was (G)afraid, and his heart trembled greatly. 6 And when Saul inquired of the Lord, (H)the Lord did not answer him, either by (I)dreams or (J)by Urim or by the prophets.
7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, (K)that I may go to her and inquire of her.”
And his servants said to him, “In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor.”
8 So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And (L)he said, “Please conduct a séance for me, and bring up for me the one I shall name to you.”
9 Then the woman said to him, “Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has (M)cut off the mediums and the spiritists from the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?”
10 And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, “As the Lord lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing.”
