14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man comes, and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground and worshipped.
15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed, for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me and no longer answers me neither by prophets nor by dreams; therefore, I have called thee that thou may make known unto me what I shall do.
16 Then Samuel said, Why then dost thou ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is become thy enemy?
17 The Lord, therefore, has done as he spoke by me! For the Lord has rent the kingdom out of thy hand and given it to thy neighbour, even to David.
18 Because thou didst not hearken unto the voice of the Lord nor execute his fierce wrath upon Amalek; therefore, the Lord has done this thing unto thee today.
19 And the Lord will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me; the Lord shall also deliver the camp of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
20 Then Saul, as great as he was, fell suddenly to the earth and was sore afraid because of the words of Samuel; and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day nor all that night.
