1 Samuel 28:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me? Why did you make me come back?”

Saul answered, “I am in great trouble! The Philistines are at war with me, and God has abandoned me. He doesn't answer me any more, either by prophets or by dreams. And so I have called you, for you to tell me what I must do.”

¹⁶ Samuel said, “Why do you call me when the Lord has abandoned you and become your enemy? ^17 (A)The Lord has done to you what he told you through me: he has taken the kingdom away from you and given it to David instead.
