1 Samuel 28:15-19

15Then SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “WhyH4100 have you disturbedH7264 me by bringingH5927 me up?” And SaulH7586 answeredH6030, “I am greatlyH3966 distressedH6887; for the PhilistinesH6430 are wagingH3898 warH3898 against me, and 1GodH430 has departedH5493 from me and 2noH3808 longerH5750 answersH6030 me, eitherH1571 throughH3027 prophetsH5030 orH1571 by dreamsH2472; therefore I have calledH7121 you, that you may makeH3045 knownH3045 to me whatH4100 I should doH6213.” 16SamuelH8050 saidH559, “WhyH4100 then do you askH7592 me, since the LordH3068 has departedH5493 from you and has becomeH1961 your adversaryH6145? 17The LordH3068 has doneH6213 3accordinglyH3512 4as He spokeH1696 throughH3027 me; for the LordH3068 has tornH7167 the kingdomH4467 out of your handH3027 and givenH5414 it to your neighborH7453, to DavidH1732. 18As 5you did not 6obeyH8085H6963 the LordH3068 and did not executeH6213 His fierceH2740 wrathH639 on AmalekH6002, soH5921H3651 the LordH3068 has doneH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697 to you thisH2088 dayH3117. 19Moreover the LordH3068 will alsoH1571 giveH5414 over IsraelH3478 alongH5973 with you into the handsH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430, therefore tomorrowH4279 7you and your sonsH1121 will be with me. IndeedH1571 the LordH3068 will giveH5414 over the armyH4264 of IsraelH3478 into the handsH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430!”
