13. And the king said to her, “Do not be afraid. What did you see?”And the woman said to Saul, “I saw a spirit ascending out of the earth.”
14. So he said to her, “What is his form?”And she said, “An old man is coming 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 down.
15. Now Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?”And Saul answered, “I am deeply distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore, neither by prophets nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may reveal to me what I should do.”
16. Then Samuel said: “So why do you ask me, seeing the Lord has departed from you and has become your enemy?
17. And the Lord has done for Himself as He spoke by me. For the Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David.
18. Because you did not obey the voice of the Lord nor execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore the Lord has done this thing to you this day.
