Saul and the Medium at Endor
3 Now Samuelwas dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his own town of Ramah. Saulhad expelled the mediums and spiritists from the land.
4 The Philistines assembled and came and set up camp at Shunem, while Saulgathered all Israel and set up camp at Gilboa. 5 When Saulsaw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror filled his heart. 6 He inquired of the Lord, but the Lorddid not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets. 7 Saulthen said to his attendants, "Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her."
"There is one in Endor," they said.
8 So Sauldisguised himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. "Consult a spirit for me," he said, "and bring up for me the one I name."
9 But the woman said to him, "Surely you know what Saulhas done. He has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap for my life to bring about my death?"
10 Saulswore to her by the Lord, "As surely as the Lordlives, you will not be punished for this."
11 Then the woman asked, "Whom shall I bring up for you?"
"Bring up Samuel," he said.
12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul, "Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!"
13 The king said to her, "Don’t be afraid. What do you see?"
The woman said, "I see a ghostly figure28:13 Or see spirits; or see godscoming up out of the earth."
14 "What does he look like?" he asked.
"An old man wearing a robe is coming up," she said.
Then Saulknew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.
15 Samuelsaid to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?"
"I am in great distress," Saulsaid. "The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do."
16 Samuelsaid, "Why do you consult me, now that the Lordhas departed from you and become your enemy? 17 The Lordhas done what he predicted through me. The Lordhas torn the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors—to David. 18 Because you did not obey the Lordor carry out his fierce wrath against the Amalekites, the Lordhas done this to you today. 19 The Lordwill deliver both Israel and you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The Lordwill also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines."
20 Immediately Saulfell full length on the ground, filled with fear because of Samuel’s words. His strength was gone, for he had eaten nothing all that day and all that night.
21 When the woman came to Sauland saw that he was greatly shaken, she said, "Look, your servant has obeyed you. I took my life in my hands and did what you told me to do. 22 Now please listen to your servant and let me give you some food so you may eat and have the strength to go on your way."
23 He refused and said, "I will not eat."
But his men joined the woman in urging him, and he listened to them. He got up from the ground and sat on the couch.
24 The woman had a fattened calf at the house, which she butchered at once. She took some flour, kneaded it and baked bread without yeast. 25 Then she set it before Sauland his men, and they ate. That same night they got up and left.
