5. And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
6. And Saul enquired of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him by dreams nor by Urim nor by prophets.
7. Then Saul said unto his slaves, Seek me a woman that is a spiritist that I may go to her and enquire of her. And his slaves said to him, Behold, there is a woman that is a spiritist at Endor.
8. And Saul disguised himself and put on other clothing, and he went with two men, and they came to the woman by night; and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by spiritism and bring me him up whom I shall name unto thee.
9. And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul has done, how he has cut off the spiritists and the diviners out of the land; why then dost thou lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
10. And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord lives, no iniquity shall come upon thee for this thing.
11. Then the woman said, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12. And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? For thou art Saul.
13. And the king said unto her, Do not be afraid. What didst thou see? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods rising out of the land.
