1 Samuel 28:13-15

New English Translation

¹³ The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid! But what have you seen?” The woman replied to Saul, “I have seen a divine being^[a] coming up from the ground!” ¹⁴ He said to her, “What about his appearance?” She said, “An old man is coming up! He is wrapped in a robe!”

Then Saul realized it was Samuel, and he bowed his face toward the ground and kneeled down. ¹⁵ Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Saul replied, “I am terribly troubled! The Philistines are fighting against me and God has turned away from me. He does not answer me anymore—not by the prophets nor by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what I should do.”
