1 Samuel 28:7-13
7Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantsH5650, “FindH1245 me a womanH802 who isH1172 a mediumH178, so I can goH1980H413 and consultH1875 her.”
“ThereH2009 is a mediumH802H1172H178 at EndorH5874,” his servantsH5650H413 repliedH559.
8So SaulH7586 disguised himselfH2664 by putting onH3847 differentH312 clothesH899, and he set outH1980H1931 withH5973 twoH8147 of his menH582. They cameH935 toH413 the womanH802 at nightH3915, and Saul saidH559, “ConsultH7080H4994 a spiritH178 for me. Bring upH5927 for me the oneH834 I nameH559H413.”
9But the womanH802 repliedH559H413, “SurelyH2009 youH859 knowH3045 whatH834 SaulH7586 has doneH6213, howH834 he has killedH3772 the mediumsH178 and spiritistsH3049 inH4480 the landH776. WhyH4100 have youH859 set a trapH5367 to get me killedH5315H4191?”
10Then SaulH7586 sworeH7650 to her by the LORDH3068H559: “As surely as the LORDH3068 livesH2416, noH518 punishmentH5771 shall come upon youH7136 forH1697 thisH2088.”
11“WhomH4310 shall I bring upH5927 for you?” the womanH802 askedH559.
“Bring upH5927 SamuelH8050,” he repliedH559.
12But when the womanH802 sawH7200 SamuelH8050, she cried outH2199 in a loudH1419 voiceH6963 and saidH559 to SaulH7586H559, “WhyH4100 have you deceived meH7411? YouH859 are SaulH7586!”
13“Do notH408 be afraidH3372,” the kingH4428 repliedH559. “WhatH4100 do you seeH7200?”
“I seeH7200 a godH4301 coming upH5927 out ofH4480 the earthH776,” the womanH802 answeredH559.
