1 Samuel 28:13-15

13But the king said to her, “Do not be afraid; but what do you see?” And the woman said to Saul, “I see a 1divine being coming up from the earth.” 14He said to her, “2How does he appear?” And she said, “An old man is coming up, and 3he is wrapped in a robe.” Then Saul knew that it was Samuel, and 4he bowed with his face to the ground and paid 5homage.

15And Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Saul replied, “I am very distressed, for the Philistines are waging war against me, and 6God has abandoned me and 7no longer answers me, either through prophets or in dreams; therefore I have called you, so that you may let me know what I should do.”
