13. And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what seest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth.
14. And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a robe. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance.
15. And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.
16. And Samuel said, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is become thine adversary?
17. And the Lord hath wrought for himself, as he spake by me: and the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David.
18. Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the Lord and didst not execute his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the Lord done this thing unto thee this day.
19. Moreover the Lord will deliver Israel also with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the Lord shall deliver the host of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.
20. Then Saul fell straightway his full length upon the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
