09:028:008 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he
           went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by
           night:  and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the
           familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto
           thee.

09:028:009 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul
           hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar
           spirits, and the wizards, out of the land:  wherefore then
           layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?

09:028:010 And Saul sware to her by the lord, saying, As the lord liveth,
           there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.

09:028:011 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee?  And he
           said, Bring me up Samuel.

09:028:012 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.

09:028:013 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.

09:028:014 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.

09:028:015 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.

09:028:016 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing
           the lord is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?

09:028:017 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: 

09:028:018 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.

09:028:019 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.

09:028:020 Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was
           sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel:  and there was no
           strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor
           all the night.
