1 Samuel 28:7-14

7Then saidH559 SaulH7586 to his servantsH5650, SeekH1245 me a womanH802 that isH1172 a mediumH178, that I may goH3212 to her, and enquireH1875 of her. And his servantsH5650 saidH559 to him, Behold, there is a womanH802 that hathH1172 a mediumH178 at EndorH5874. 8And SaulH7586 disguisedH2664 himself, and put onH3847 otherH312 raimentH899, and he wentH3212, and twoH8147 menH582 with him, and they cameH935 to the womanH802 by nightH3915: and he saidH559, I pray thee, divineH7080 to me as a mediumH178, and bring up for meH5927, whom I shall nameH559 to thee. 9And the womanH802 saidH559 to him, Behold, thou knowestH3045 what SaulH7586 hath doneH6213, how he hath cut offH3772 those that are mediumsH178, and the wizardsH3049, out of the landH776: Why then layest thou a snareH5367 for my lifeH5315, to cause me to dieH4191? 10And SaulH7586 sworeH7650 to her by the LORDH3068, sayingH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, there shallH518 no punishmentH5771 happenH7136 to thee for this thingH1697. 11Then saidH559 the womanH802, Whom shall I bring upH5927 to thee? And he saidH559, Bring me upH5927 SamuelH8050. 12And when the womanH802 sawH7200 SamuelH8050, she criedH2199 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963: and the womanH802 spokeH559 to SaulH7586, sayingH559, Why hast thou deceivedH7411 me? for thou art SaulH7586. 13And the kingH4428 saidH559 to her, Be not afraidH3372: for what sawestH7200 thou? And the womanH802 saidH559 to SaulH7586, I sawH7200 godsH430 ascendingH5927 out of the earthH776. 14And he saidH559 to her, What is his formH8389? And she saidH559, An oldH2205 manH376 cometh upH5927; and he is coveredH5844 with a mantleH4598. And SaulH7586 perceivedH3045 that it was SamuelH8050, and he stoopedH6915 with his faceH639 to the groundH776, and bowedH7812 himself.1
