1 Samuel 28:3-9
3By this time Samuel had died, all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his city, and Saul had removed the mediums and spiritists from the land.
4The Philistines gathered and camped at Shunem. So Saul gathered all Israel, and they camped at Gilboa.
5When Saul saw the Philistine camp, he was afraid and his heart pounded.
6He inquired of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him in dreams or by the Urim or by the prophets.
7Saul then said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I can go and consult her.” His servants replied, “There is a woman at En-dor who is a medium.”
8Saul disguised himself by putting on different clothes and set out with two of his men. They came to the woman at night, and Saul said, “Consult a spirit for me. Bring up for me the one I tell you.”
9But the woman said to him, “You surely know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why are you setting a trap for me to get me killed?”
