1 Samuel 28:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁵ Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?”

Saul answered, “I am in dire straits because the Philistines are waging war against me, and God has departed from me. He no longer answers me through prophets or through dreams. That is why I have called you, so that you can let me know what I should do.”

¹⁶ Samuel said, “Why do you ask me, since the Lord has departed from you and has become your adversary? ¹⁷ The Lord has done exactly what he told you through me. The Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor David.
