10And Saul made an oath to her by the Lord, saying, By the living Lord, no punishment will come to you for this.
11Then the woman said, Who am I to let you see? And he said, Make Samuel come up for me.
12And the woman saw that it was Saul, and she gave a loud cry, and said to Saul, Why have you made use of deceit? for you are Saul.
13And the king said to her, Have no fear: what do you see? And the woman said to Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth.
14And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, It is an old man coming up covered with a robe. And Saul saw that it was Samuel, and with his face bent down to the earth he gave him honour.
15And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you made me come up, troubling my rest? And Saul in answer said, I am in great danger; for the Philistines are making war on me, and God has gone away from me and will no longer give me any answer, by the prophets or by dreams: so I have sent for you to make clear to me what I am to do.
16And Samuel said, Why do you put your questions to me, seeing that God has gone away from you and is on the side of him who is against you?
