1 Samuel 28:5-7

The Message

^4-5 The Philistines had mustered their troops and camped at Shunem. Saul had assembled all Israel and camped at Gilboa. But when Saul saw the Philistine troops, he shook in his boots, scared to death.

⁶ Saul prayed to God, but God didn’t answer—neither by dream nor by sign nor by prophet.

⁷ So Saul ordered his officials, “Find me someone who can call up spirits so I may go and seek counsel from those spirits.”

His servants said, “There’s a witch at Endor.”
