1 Samuel 28:13-15
New International Version - UK
13 The king said to her, ‘Don’t be afraid. What do you see?’
The woman said, ‘I see a ghostly figure[a] coming up out of the earth.’
14 ‘What does he look like?’ he asked.
‘An old man wearing a robe is coming up,’ she said.
Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.
15 Samuel said to Saul, ‘Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?’
‘I am in great distress,’ Saul said. ‘The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.’
