The Philistine levies advanced to Shunem and encamped. Saul, too, mustered all Israel; they camped on Gilboa. (1 Samuel 28, 4)
When Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was dismayed and lost heart completely. (1 Samuel 28, 5)
Then Saul said to his servants, "Find me a woman who is a medium, to whom I can go to seek counsel through her." His servants answered him, "There is a woman in Endor who is a medium." (1 Samuel 28, 7)
So he disguised himself, putting on other clothes, and set out with two companions. They came to the woman by night, and Saul said to her, "Tell my fortune through a ghost; conjure up for me the one I ask you to." (1 Samuel 28, 8)
But the woman answered him, "You are surely aware of what Saul has done, in driving the mediums and fortune-tellers out of the land. Why, then, are you laying snares for my life, to have me killed?" (1 Samuel 28, 9)
But Saul swore to her by the LORD, "As the LORD lives, you shall incur no blame for this." (1 Samuel 28, 10)
Then the woman asked him, "Whom do you want me to conjure up?" and he answered, "Samuel." (1 Samuel 28, 11)
When the woman saw Samuel, she shrieked at the top of her voice and said to Saul, "Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!" (1 Samuel 28, 12)
But the king said to her, "Have no fear. What do you see?" The woman answered Saul, "I see a preternatural being rising from the earth." (1 Samuel 28, 13)
"What does he look like?" asked Saul. And she replied, "It is an old man who is rising, clothed in a mantle." Saul knew that it was Samuel, and so he bowed face to the ground in homage. (1 Samuel 28, 14)
Samuel then said to Saul, "Why do you disturb me by conjuring me up?" Saul replied: "I am in great straits, for the Philistines are waging war against me and God has abandoned me. Since he no longer answers me through prophets or in dreams, I have called you to tell me what I should do." (1 Samuel 28, 15)
To this Samuel said: "But why do you ask me, if the LORD has abandoned you and is with your neighbor? (1 Samuel 28, 16)
