1 Samuel 28:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ “Why are you bothering me by bringing me up like this?” Samuel asked.

“I'm terribly worried,” Saul answered. “The Philistines are about to attack me. God has turned his back on me and won't answer any more by prophets or by dreams. What should I do?”

¹⁶ Samuel said:

If the Lord has turned away from you and is now your enemy, don't ask me what to do. ^17 (A) I've already told you: The Lord has sworn to take the kingdom from you and give it to David. And that's just what he's doing!
