1 Samuel 28:7-13

7Then saidH559 SaulH7586 unto his servantsH5650, SeekH1245 me a womanH802 that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servantsH5650 saidH559 to him, Behold, there is a womanH802 that hath a familiar spirit at En-dorH5874.

8And SaulH7586 disguisedH2664 himself, and putH3847 on otherH312 raiment, and wentH935, he and twoH8147 menH376 with him, and they cameH935 to the womanH802 by nightH3915: and he saidH559, DivineH7080 unto me, I pray thee, by the familiar spirit, and bringH935 me up whomsoever I shall name unto thee. 9And the womanH802 saidH559 unto him, Behold, thou knowest what SaulH7586 hath done, howH4100 he hath cutH3772 off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the landH776: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my lifeH5315, to cause me to dieH4191? 10And SaulH7586 sware to her by Jehovah, sayingH559, As Jehovah liveth, there shall no punishmentH5771 happen to thee for this thingH1697. 11Then saidH559 the womanH802, Whom shall I bringH5927 up unto thee? And he saidH559, BringH5927 me up SamuelH8050. 12And when the womanH802 sawH7200 SamuelH8050, she criedH2199 with a loud voiceH6963; and the womanH802 spake to SaulH7586, sayingH559, WhyH4100 hast thou deceived me? for thou art SaulH7586. 13And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto her, Be not afraidH3372: for what seest thou? And the womanH802 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I seeH7200 a godH430 comingH5927 up out of the earthH776.
