For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has also rejected you from being king.”

“ If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, I will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.

“ Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God.

There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcereror a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead,for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you.You shall be blameless before the Lord your God,for these nations, which you are about to dispossess, listen to fortune-tellers and to diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do this.

And Samuel said to Saul,“ You have done foolishly. You have not kept the command of the Lord your God, with which he commanded you. For then the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought out a man after his own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”

Then Saul said to his servants,“ Seek out for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him,“ Behold, there is a medium at En-dor.”So Saul disguised himself and put on other garments and went, he and two men with him. And they came to the woman by night. And he said,“ Divine for me by a spirit and bring up for me whomever I shall name to you.”The woman said to him,“ Surely you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the necromancers from the land. Why then are you laying a trap for my life to bring about my death?”But Saul swore to her by the Lord,“ As the Lord lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing.”Then the woman said,“ Whom shall I bring up for you?” He said,“ Bring up Samuel for me.”When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman said to Saul,“ Why have you deceived me? You are Saul.”The king said to her,“ Do not be afraid. What do you see?” And the woman said to Saul,“ I see a god coming up out of the earth.”He said to her,“ What is his appearance?” And she said,“ An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped in a robe.” And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and paid homage.Then Samuel said to Saul,“ Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Saul answered,“ I am in great distress, for the Philistines are warring against me, and God has turned away from me and answers me no more, either by prophets or by dreams. Therefore I have summoned you to tell me what I shall do.”And Samuel said,“ Why then do you ask me, since the Lord has turned from you and become your enemy?The Lord has done to you as he spoke by me, for the Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David.Because you did not obey the voice of the Lord and did not carry out his fierce wrath against Amalek, therefore the Lord has done this thing to you this day.Moreover, the Lord will give Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons shall be with me. The Lord will give the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.”Then Saul fell at once full length on the ground, filled with fear because of the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten nothing all day and all night.

And when they say to you,“ Inquire of the mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,” should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living?

As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by fortune-telling.She followed Paul and us, crying out,“ These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation.”And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit,“ I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.

Thus says the Lord of hosts,‘ I have noted what Amalek did to Israel in opposing them on the way when they came up out of Egypt.

But there was a man named Simon, who had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was somebody great.They all paid attention to him, from the least to the greatest, saying,“ This man is the power of God that is called Great.”And they paid attention to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his magic.

And he burned his son as an offering and used fortune-telling and omens and dealt with mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger.
