1 Samuel 28:15-19

New International Version

¹⁵ Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?”

“I am in great distress,” Saul said. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed^(A) from me. He no longer answers^(B) me, either by prophets or by dreams.^(C) So I have called on you to tell me what to do.”

¹⁶ Samuel said, “Why do you consult me, now that the Lord has departed from you and become your enemy? ¹⁷ The Lord has done what he predicted through me. The Lord has torn^(D) the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors—to David. ¹⁸ Because you did not obey^(E) the Lord or carry out his fierce wrath^(F) against the Amalekites,^(G) the Lord has done this to you today. ¹⁹ The Lord will deliver both Israel and you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons^(H) will be with me. The Lord will also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”
