1 Samuel 28:12-19

[12] And when the woman  saw  Samuel,  she cried  with a loud  voice:  and the woman  spake  to Saul,  saying,  Why hast thou deceived  me? for thou art Saul.  [13] And the king  said  unto her, Be not afraid:  for what sawest  thou? And the woman  said  unto Saul,  I saw  gods  ascending  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 mantle.  And Saul  perceived  that it was Samuel,  and he stooped  with his face  to the ground,  and bowed  himself. [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] Then said  Samuel,  Wherefore then dost thou ask  of me, seeing the LORD  is departed  from thee, and is become thine enemy?  [17] And the LORD  hath done  to him, as he spake  by me:  for 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,  nor executedst  his fierce  wrath  upon Amalek,  therefore hath the LORD  done  this thing  unto thee this day.  [19] Moreover the LORD  will also deliver  Israel  with thee into the hand  of the Philistines:  and to morrow  shalt thou and thy sons  be with me: the LORD  also shall deliver  the host  of Israel  into the hand  of the Philistines.
