1 Samuel 28:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² When the woman saw Samuel, she screamed at Saul, “Why have you tricked me? You are Saul!”

¹³ “Don’t be afraid!” the king said to her. “What do you see?”

The woman said to Saul, “I see a god^[a] coming up from the ground.”

¹⁴ “What does he look like?” Saul asked her.

“An old man is coming up,” she said. “He’s wrapped in a robe.” Then Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed low out of respect, nose to the ground.
