Saul Consults the Medium at Endor
1 Samuel 28:7-11
7
Then Sha'ul said to his servants, "Try to find a woman who tells the future by communicating with the dead; I want to go and consult with her." His servants answered him, "Yes, there's a woman in 'Ein-Dor who tells the future by communicating with the dead."
8
So Sha'ul disguised himself by wearing different clothing, went with two men, came to the woman by night and said, "Tell me the future, please. Bring up from the dead the person I name to you."
9
The woman answered, "Here, you know what Sha'ul did, how he expelled from the land those who tell the future by communicating with the dead or with a demonic spirit. Why are you trying to entrap me into causing my own death?"
10
But Sha'ul swore to her by ADONAI, "As ADONAI lives, you will not be punished for doing this."
11
Then the woman asked, "Whom should I bring up for you?" He said, "Bring up for me Sh'mu'el."
