1 Samuel 28:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ The king said to the woman, “Don’t be afraid! What do you see?”

The woman said, “I see a ·spirit [ghost; god; divine being] coming up out of the ·ground [earth].”

¹⁴ Saul asked, “What ·does he look like [is his appearance/form]?”

The woman answered, “An old man wearing a ·coat [robe; cloak] is coming up.”

Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he ·bowed facedown [prostrated himself] on the ground [and paid homage/did obeisance].

¹⁵ Samuel asked Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by ·bringing [conjuring] me up?”

Saul said, “I am ·greatly troubled [^Lin great trouble/distress]. The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has ·left [abandoned; departed/turned away from] me. He won’t answer me anymore, either by prophets or in dreams. That’s why I ·called for [summoned] you. Tell me what to do.”
