4 So the Philistines mustered and came and camped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together and they camped at Gilboa.
5 Now when Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid and his heart trembled greatly.
6 When Saul inquired of Adonai, Adonai did not answer, neither by dreams nor by Urim or prophets.
7 Then Saul said to his courtiers, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go to her and inquire through her.” So his courtiers said to him, “Behold, there is a woman that is a medium at En-dor.”
8 So Saul disguised himself, put on other clothes, and went with two other men, and they reached the woman by night. Then he said, “Please conjure up for me a ghost—bring up for me the one I will name to you.”
9 “Look, you know what Saul has done,” she said, “how he has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. So why then are you setting a trap for my life to get me killed?”
10 Saul vowed to her by Adonai saying, “As Adonai lives, no punishment will come on you for this thing.”
