1 Samuel 28:3-9

3Meanwhile, Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his hometown Ramah. (Saul had rid the land of mediums and psychics.)

4The Philistines assembled and camped in Shunem. Saul also assembled the whole Israelite army, and they camped at Gilboa.

5When Saul looked at the Philistine army, he was very afraid—terrified.

6He prayed to the Lord, but the Lord didn’t answer him through dreams, the Urim, or prophets.

7Saul told his officers, “Find me a woman who conjures up the dead. Then I’ll go to her and ask for her services.” His officers told him, “There is a woman at Endor who conjures up the dead.”

8After disguising himself by putting on other clothes, Saul left with two men and came to the woman that night. He said to her, “Please consult with a dead person for me. Conjure up the person I request.”

9The woman told him, “You know that Saul rid the land of mediums and psychics. Why are you trying to trap me and have me killed?”
