1 Samuel 28:15-17

15“Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Samuel asked Saul. “I’m in serious trouble,” replied Saul. “The Philistines are fighting against me and God has turned away from me. He doesn’t answer me anymore, either through the prophets or in dreams. So I’ve called on you to tell me what I should do.”

16Samuel answered, “Since the Lord has turned away from you and has become your enemy, why are you asking me?

17The Lord has done exactly what he said through me: The Lord has torn the kingship out of your hand and given it to your neighbor David.
