10. And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord lives, there shall no punishment come to you for this.
11. The woman said, Whom shall I bring up for you? He said, Bring up Samuel for me.
12. And when the woman saw Samuel, she screamed and she said to Saul, Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!
13. The king said to her, Be not afraid; what do you see? The woman said to Saul, I see a god [terrifying superhuman being] coming up out of the earth!
14. He said to her, In what form is he? And she said, An old man comes up, covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground and made obeisance.
15. And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you disturbed me to bring me up? Saul answered, I am bitterly distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and answers me no more, either by prophets or by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I should do.
