1 Samuel 28:11-15
11Finally, the woman said, “Well, whose spirit do you want me to call up?” “Call up Samuel,” Saul replied.
12When the woman saw Samuel, she screamed, “You’ve deceived me! You are Saul!”
13“Don’t be afraid!” the king told her. “What do you see?” “I see a god coming up out of the earth,” she said.
14“What does he look like?” Saul asked. “He is an old man wrapped in a robe,” she replied. Saul realized it was Samuel, and he fell to the ground before him.
15“Why have you disturbed me by calling me back?” Samuel asked Saul. “Because I am in deep trouble,” Saul replied. “The Philistines are at war with me, and God has left me and won’t reply by prophets or dreams. So I have called for you to tell me what to do.”
