1 Samuel 28:7-14

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?

10And SaulH7586 sware to herH518 by the LORDH3068, sayingH559, As the LORDH3068 liveth, there shall noH518 punishmentH5771 happenH1697 to thee for this thingH1697.

11Then saidH559 the womanH802, WhomH4310 shall I bringH5927 upH5927 unto thee? And he saidH559, BringH5927 meH5927 upH5927 SamuelH8050.

12And when the womanH802 sawH7200 SamuelH8050, sheH4100 criedH2199 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963: and the womanH802 spake to SaulH7586, sayingH559, WhyH4100 hast thou deceivedH7411 meH413? for thou art SaulH7586.

13And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto herH413, Be notH408 afraidH3372: for whatH4100 seest thou? And the womanH802 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I seeH7200 a godH430 comingH5927 upH5927 outH4480 of the earthH776.

14And he saidH559 unto herH559, WhatH4100 formH8389 is he of? And sheH1931 saidH559, An oldH2205 manH376 cometh upH5927; and he is covered with a robeH4598. And SaulH7586 perceivedH3045 that it was SamuelH8050, and he bowedH7812 with his faceH639 to the groundH776, and didH4100 obeisance.
