← 1 Samuel 28:5	1 Samuel 28:6 (KJV)	1 Samuel 28:7 →
And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.	And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.	Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, [there is] a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.
