Saul Consults a Medium

3 Now ^aSamuel had died, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him in ^bRamah, in his own city. And Saul had put ^cthe mediums and the spiritists out of the land.

4 Then the Philistines gathered together, and came and encamped at ^aShunem. So Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped at ^bGilboa.

5 When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was ^aafraid, and his heart trembled greatly.

6 And when Saul inquired of the Lord, ^athe Lord did not answer him, either by ^bdreams or ^cby Urim or by the prophets.

7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, ^athat I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him, “In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor.”
