1 Samuel 28:14-16

Expanded Bible

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.”

¹⁶ Samuel said, “The Lord has ·left [abandoned; departed/turned away from] you and has become your enemy. So why do you ·call on [ask; consult] me?
