7 Saul then said to his servants, "Find me a woman who is a medium, so I can go and consult her."
His servants replied, "There is a woman at En-dor 28:7 Jos 17:1; Ps 83:10 who is a medium." 28:7 Ac 16:16
8 Saul disguised himself 28:8 2Ch 18:29; 35:21–22 by putting on different clothes and set out with two of his men. They came to the woman at night, and Saul said, "Consult a spirit for me. 28:8 Is 8:19 Bring up for me the one I tell you." 28:8 Dt 18:10–11
15 "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up? " Samuel asked Saul.
"I’m in serious trouble," replied Saul. "The Philistines are fighting against me and God has turned away from me. 28:15 1Sm 16:13–14; 18:12 He doesn’t answer me anymore, 28:15 1Sm 28:6 either through the prophets or in dreams. So I’ve called on you to tell me what I should do."
16 Samuel answered, "Since the Lord has turned away from you and has become your enemy, why are you asking me? 19 The Lord will also hand Israel over to the Philistines along with you. Tomorrow you and your sons will be with me, 28:19 LXX reads sons will fall, 28:19 1Sm 31:2; Jb 3:17–19 and the Lord will hand Israel’s army over to the Philistines."
