夫掃羅之死、因其干犯耶和華、不遵其命、且請示於憑鬼者、

掃羅犯罪、違耶和華命、不詢於耶和華、乃問於憑卜神者、故耶和華殺之、移其國祚、以畀耶西之子大闢。

要知道，悖逆如同占卜的罪，頑梗就像拜偶像的惡。你既然厭棄耶和華的話，耶和華也厭棄你作王。」

撒母耳對掃羅說：「你做了愚蠢的事！你沒有遵守耶和華你的神所吩咐你的誡命。不然，耶和華就會堅立你在以色列的王權到永遠了；但如今，你的王權不會長久了，耶和華已經為自己找到一個合乎他心意的人，耶和華任命這人作他子民的領袖，因為你不遵守耶和華吩咐你的。」

掃羅就對他的臣僕們說：「你們為我尋找一個招魂的女巫吧，我好去她那裡求問。」臣僕們對他說：「看哪，在恩多爾有一個招魂的女巫。」於是掃羅喬裝，穿上別的衣服，然後帶著兩個人與他一同前往。他們夜間去見那女人，掃羅說：「請你用招魂術，把我告訴你的人為我招上來。」那女人對他說：「看哪，你知道掃羅所做的事，他把招魂的和通靈的從國中剪除了。你為什麼對我設下圈套，要害死我呢？」掃羅指著耶和華向她起誓說：「我指著耶和華的永生起誓：你必不因這事受到懲罰。」那女人就問：「我要為你招誰上來呢？」掃羅回答：「為我招撒母耳上來。」那女人看見撒母耳，就大聲哀叫。她對掃羅說：「你為什麼欺騙我呢？你就是掃羅！」王對她說：「不要害怕。你究竟看見了什麼？」那女人對掃羅說：「我看見有神明從地裡上來。」掃羅問她：「他是什麼模樣呢？」她回答：「上來的是個老人，披著外袍。」掃羅認為那是撒母耳，就臉伏於地下拜。撒母耳問掃羅：「你為什麼攪擾我，招我上來呢？」掃羅回答：「我面臨極大的危難：非利士人與我爭戰，神也離開了我，不再藉著先知或夢回應我。所以我召喚你來、指示我該怎麼做。」撒母耳說：「既然耶和華已經離開你，與你為敵，你為什麼還問我呢？耶和華應驗了他藉著我所說的話：耶和華從你的手中撕去了王權，賜給了與你鄰近的人——大衛。因為你沒有聽從耶和華的話，沒有對亞瑪力人施行他烈怒的懲罰，因此今天耶和華向你行了這事。耶和華必將以色列與你一同交在非利士人手中，明天你和你的兒子們就會與我在一起了；耶和華也必將以色列軍兵交在非利士人手中。」掃羅立刻整個身體仆倒在地，他因撒母耳的話極其害怕，並且渾身無力，因為他整日整夜都沒有吃東西。

儘管有人對你們說：「求問那些喃喃自語、念念有詞的招魂者和通靈者吧」，但百姓難道不應當求問自己的神嗎？難道應當為活人求問死人嗎？

有一次，我們往禱告的地方去，迎面來了一個有占卜邪靈附身的女僕。她用算命為她的主人們帶來大量的生意。她跟著保羅和我們，喊叫說：「這些人是至高神的奴僕，向你們傳講救恩的道。」她一連幾天都這樣做。保羅厭煩了，就轉過身對那邪靈說：「我奉耶穌基督的名，吩咐你從她身上出來！」那邪靈立刻就出來了。

萬軍之耶和華如此說：『我要清算亞瑪力人對以色列人所做的事，就是當以色列人從埃及上來時，亞瑪力人在路上攻擊他們。
