1 Samuel 28:13-15

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹³ The king said to her, “Do not be afraid; but what do you see?” And the woman said to Saul, “I see a ^[a]divine being coming up out of the earth.” ¹⁴ He said to her, “What is his form?” And she said, “An old man is coming up, and ^(A)he is wrapped with a robe.” And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and ^(B)he bowed with his face to the ground and did homage.

¹⁵ Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” And Saul answered, “I am greatly distressed; for the Philistines are waging war against me, and ^(C)God has departed from me and ^(D)no longer answers me, either through prophets or by dreams; therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I should do.”
