Searching 100 Bible Verses about necromancy:

Leviticus 19:31: 
“Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the LORD your God.”

Deuteronomy 18:9-12: 
“When you come into the land that the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD. And because of these abominations the LORD your God is driving them out before you.”

Leviticus 20:6: 
“If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, I will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.”

2 Kings 21:6: 
“And he burned his son as an offering and used fortune-telling and omens and dealt with mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger.”

Leviticus 20:27: 
“A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones; their blood shall be upon them.”

Deuteronomy 18:11: 
“Or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead.”

Isaiah 19:3: 
“And the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out, and I will confound their counsel; and they will inquire of the idols and the sorcerers, and the mediums and the necromancers;”

2 Kings 23:24: 
“Moreover, Josiah put away the mediums and the necromancers and the household gods and the idols and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might establish the words of the law that were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.”

1 Samuel 28:3: 
“Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the necromancers out of the land.”

Isaiah 8:19-20: 
“And when they say to you, ‘Inquire of the mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,’ should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living? To the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn.”

1 Samuel 28:9: 
“The woman said to him, ‘Surely you know what Saul has done, 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?’”

My favorite? Isaiah 8:19-20 because I memorized Isaiah 8:20 KJV in my youth: “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” But I don't think they should be put to death today as the Old Testament said to do back then.
