1 Samuel 28:3-9
3Now SamuelH8050 was deadH4191, and allH3605 IsraelH3478 had lamentedH5594 him, and buriedH6912 him in RamahH7414, evenH853 in his own cityH5892. And SaulH7586 had putH4191 awayH5493 thoseH3605 that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, outH3605 of the landH776.
4And the PhilistinesH6430 gatheredH6908 themselvesH6908 togetherH6908, and cameH935 and pitchedH2583 in ShunemH7766: and SaulH7586 gatheredH6908 allH3605 IsraelH3478 togetherH6908, and they pitchedH2583 in GilboaH1533.
5And when SaulH7586 sawH7200 the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, he was afraidH3372, and his heartH3820 trembledH2729 greatlyH3966.
6And when SaulH7586 inquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 him notH3808, neitherH3808 by dreamsH2472, norH3808 by UrimH224, norH3808 by prophetsH5030.
7Then saidH559 SaulH7586 unto his servantsH5650, SeekH1245 meH413 a womanH802 that hath a familiar spiritH178, that I may goH2009 to herH413, and inquireH1875 of herH413. And his servantsH5650 saidH559 to him, BeholdH2009, there is a womanH802 that hath a familiar spiritH178 at En-dorH5874.
8And SaulH7586 disguisedH2664 himselfH1931, and putH3847 on otherH312 raiment, and wentH935, he and twoH8147 menH376 with him, and they cameH935 to the womanH802 by nightH3915: and he saidH559, DivineH7080 unto meH413, I pray thee, by the familiar spiritH178, and bringH935 meH413 upH5927 whomsoever I shall nameH559 unto thee.
9And the womanH802 saidH559 unto him, BeholdH2009, thou knowest whatH4100 SaulH7586 hath doneH6213, howH4100 he hath cutH3772 offH3772 thoseH834 that have familiarH3045 spirits, and the wizards, outH4480 of the landH776: wherefore then layest thou a snareH5367 for my lifeH5315, to cause meH413 to dieH4191?
