8. So he disguised himself, putting on other clothes, and set out with two companions. They came to the woman at night, and Saul said to her, “Divine for me; conjure up the spirit I tell you.”
9. But the woman answered him, “You know what Saul has done, how he expelled the mediums and diviners from the land. Then why are you trying to entrap me and get me killed?”
10. But Saul swore to her by the Lord, “As the Lord lives, you shall incur no blame for this.”
11. “Whom do you want me to conjure up?” the woman asked him. “Conjure up Samuel for me,” he replied.
12. 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!”
13. But the king said to her, “Do not be afraid. What do you see?” “I see a god rising from the earth,” she replied.
14. “What does he look like?” asked Saul. “An old man is coming up wrapped in a robe,” she replied. Saul knew that it was Samuel, and so he bowed his face to the ground in homage.
