I. Samvuen XXVIII. 19.

5 And when Saul saw -the_host_of the Philistines, he was_afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
6 And when Saul inquired of ‘the Lorp, ‘the Lorp answered him not, neither by xdreams, nor by « xUrim, nor by xprophets.
7 Then said Saul unto his servants, “Seek me a woman mthat_hath a familiar_spirit, that I may_go to her, and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him,“ Behold, there is a woman ela a familiar_spirit at ¢ En-
or.”
8 And Saul disguised_himself, and put_on other raiment, and he went, and
two «men with him, and they came to 81
the woman by_night : and he said, “T_ pray-_thee, -divine unto me by the fa- miliar_spirit, and -bring_me_him_up, -whom I shall_name unto thee.”
9 And the woman said unto him, “Behold, thon -knowest -what Saul shath_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 ?”
10 And Saul sware to her by Jthe Lorn, saying, “As Jthe Lorp liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for xthis thing.”
il Then said the woman, ““Whom shall_I_bring_up unto thee?” And he said, “-Bring_me_up ~Samuel.”
12 And when the woman saw -Samuél, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, “Why shast_thou_deceived me? for thow art Saul.”
33 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 7s he of?” And she said, “An old tman cometh_up; and he 7s covered with a mantle.” And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with _his_face to_the_ ground, and bowed_himself. a
15 And Samuél said to Saul, “Why shast_thou_disquieted me, to bring me up?” And Saul answered, “I am sore distressed ; for the Philistines smake_ war against me, and =God «is_departed from me,-and sanswereth me no more, neither 4 by xprophets, nor by xdreams : therefore I have_called thee, that thou Mmayest_make_known unto me what I Shall_do.”
16 Then said Samuél, “Wherefore then 'dost_thou_ask_of me, seeing J the Lorp -is_departed from thee, and is_ become thine enemy ?
17 And J the Lory hath_done /to him, acas He spake by me: for 'the Lorp 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 Lorp, nor executedst His flerce wrath upon xAmalek, therefore *hath Jthe Lorp done *this xthing unto thee xthis xday.
19 Moreover ‘the Lorp will also deliver
