13 The king said to her, |Don't be afraid! What have you seen?| The woman replied to Saul, |I have seen one like a god coming up from the ground!|

14 He said to her, |What about his appearance?| She said, |An old man is coming up! He is wrapped in a robe!| Then Saul realized it was Samuel, and he bowed his face toward the ground and kneeled down.

15 Samuel said to Saul, |Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?| Saul replied, |I am terribly troubled! The Philistines are fighting against me and God has turned away from me. He does not answer me--not by the prophets nor by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what I should do.|
