1 Samuel 28:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ So Saul disguised himself; he put on different clothes, and after dark he went with two of his men to see the woman. “Consult the spirits for me and tell me what is going to happen,” he said to her. “Call up the spirit of the man I name.”

⁹ The woman answered, “Surely you know what King Saul has done, how he forced the fortunetellers and mediums to leave Israel.^[a] Why, then, are you trying to trap me and get me killed?”

¹⁰ Then Saul made a sacred vow. “By the living Lord I promise that you will not be punished for doing this,” he told her.
