1 Samuel 28:13-15

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹³ The king said to her, “Do not be afraid! What do you see?”

The woman said to Saul, “I see a powerful spirit^[a] coming up out of the earth.”

¹⁴ He said to her, “What does he look like?”

She said, “An old man is coming up. He is covered with a robe.” Saul recognized that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground to show respect.

¹⁵ Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?”

Saul answered, “I am in dire straits because the Philistines are waging war against me, and God has departed from me. He no longer answers me through prophets or through dreams. That is why I have called you, so that you can let me know what I should do.”
