1 Samuel 28:8-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 28
8
Then Saul disguised himself by putting on different clothes, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said, 'Consult the spirit for me, please, and bring up for me
the one
whom I shall name for you.'
9
But the woman said to him, 'Behold, you know what Saul has done, that he has eliminated the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why are you then setting a trap for my life, to bring about my death?'
10
So Saul swore an oath to her by the
Lord
, saying, 'As the
Lord
lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing.'
11
Then the woman said, 'Whom shall I bring up for you?' And he said, 'Bring up Samuel for me.'
12
When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, 'Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!'
13
But the king said to her, 'Do not be afraid; but what do you see?' And the woman said to Saul, 'I see a divine being coming up from the earth.'
14
He said to her, 'How does he appear?' And she said, 'An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped in a robe.' Then Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and paid homage.
King James Version
Chapter 28
8
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.
9
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?
10
And Saul sware to her by the
Lord
, saying, As the
Lord
liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
11
Then said the woman, 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 spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
13
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 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.

Chapter 28
8
Saul disguised himself by putting on different clothes and set out with two of his men. They came to the woman at night, and Saul said, "Consult a spirit for me. Bring up for me the one I tell you."
9
But the woman said to him, "You surely know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why are you setting a trap for me to get me killed?"
10
Then Saul swore to her by the
Lord
: "As surely as the
Lord
lives, no punishment will come to you from this."
11
"Who is it that you want me to bring up for you?" the woman asked. "Bring up Samuel for me," he answered.
12
When the woman saw Samuel, she screamed, and then she asked Saul, "Why did you deceive me? You are Saul!"
13
But the king said to her, "Don’t be afraid. What do you see?" "I see a spirit form coming up out of the earth," the woman answered.
14
Then Saul asked her, "What does he look like?" "An old man is coming up," she replied. "He’s wearing a robe." Then Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he knelt low with his face to the ground and paid homage.
New Living Translation
Chapter 28
8
So Saul disguised himself by wearing ordinary clothing instead of his royal robes. Then he went to the woman’s home at night, accompanied by two of his men. 'I have to talk to a man who has died,' he said. 'Will you call up his spirit for me?'
9
Are you trying to get me killed?' the woman demanded. 'You know that Saul has outlawed all the mediums and all who consult the spirits of the dead. Why are you setting a trap for me?'
10
But Saul took an oath in the name of the
Lord
and promised, 'As surely as the
Lord
lives, nothing bad will happen to you for doing this.'
11
Finally, the woman said, 'Well, whose spirit do you want me to call up?' 'Call up Samuel,' Saul replied.
12
When the woman saw Samuel, she screamed, 'You’ve deceived me! You are Saul!'
13
Don’t be afraid!' the king told her. 'What do you see?' 'I see a god coming up out of the earth,' she said.
14
What does he look like?' Saul asked. 'He is an old man wrapped in a robe,' she replied. Saul realized it was Samuel, and he fell to the ground before him.
