1 Samuel 28:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 So Saul said to his servants, “Search for me a woman who is a medium[a] so that I may go to her and inquire of her.” His servants said to him, “Look there is a woman who is a medium in Endor.” 8 So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went with two of his men.[b] And they came to the woman by night and he said, “Please consult a spirit for me through the ritual pit,[c] and bring up for me the one whom I tell you.” 9 But the woman said to him, “Look, you know what Saul did, how he exterminated the mediums[d] and the soothsayers from the land! Why are you setting a trap for my life to kill me?”
