1 Samuel 28:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Then Saul [a]changed himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, conjecture unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up whom I shall name unto thee.
9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath destroyed the sorcerers, and the soothsayers out of the land: wherefore then seekest thou to take me in a snare to cause me to die?
10 And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liveth, no [b]harm shall come to thee for this thing.

1 Samuel 28:8-10
New International Version
8 So Saul disguised(A) himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. “Consult(B) a spirit for me,” he said, “and bring up for me the one I name.”
9 But the woman said to him, “Surely you know what Saul has done. He has cut off(C) the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap(D) for my life to bring about my death?”
10 Saul swore to her by the Lord, “As surely as the Lord lives, you will not be punished for this.”
