So Saul t disguised himself and put on other garments and went, he and two men with him. And they came to the woman by night. And he said, u "Divine for me by a spirit and bring up for me whomever I shall name to you."
9
The woman said to him, "Surely you know what Saul has done, l how he has cut off the mediums and the necromancers from the land. Why then are you laying a trap for my life to bring about my death?"

11
Then the woman said, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" He said, "Bring up Samuel for me."
12
When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman said to Saul, "Why have you deceived me? You are Saul."
13
The king said to her, "Do not be afraid. What do you see?" And the woman said to Saul, "I see a god coming up out of the earth."
14
He said to her, "What is his appearance?" And she said, "An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped w in a robe." And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and paid homage.
15

Therefore I have summoned you to tell me what I shall do."
16
And Samuel said, "Why then do you ask me, since the Lord has turned from you and become your enemy?
17
The Lord has done to you as he spoke by me, for z the Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David.
