1 Samuel 28:7-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7. Saul then said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I can go and consult her.”His servants replied, “There is a woman at En-dor who is a medium.”

8. Saul disguised himself by putting on different clothes and set out with two of his men. They came to the woman at night, and Saul said, “Consult a spirit for me. Bring up for me the one I tell you.”

9. But the woman said to him, “You surely know what Saul has done, how he has killed the mediums and spiritists in the land. Why are you setting a trap for me to get me killed? ”

10. Then Saul swore to her by the Lord: “As surely as the Lord lives, nothing bad will happen to you because of this.”

11. “Who is it that you want me to bring up for you? ” the woman asked.“Bring up Samuel for me,” he answered.

12. When the woman saw Samuel, she screamed, and then she asked Saul, “Why did you deceive me? You are Saul! ”
