For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because you have rejected Yahweh’s word, he has also rejected you from being king.”

“‘ The person that turns to those who are mediums and wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.

“‘ Don’t turn to those who are mediums, nor to the wizards. Don’t seek them out, to be defiled by them. I am Yahweh your God.

There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who tells fortunes, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,or a charmer, or someone who consults with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh. Because of these abominations, Yahweh your God drives them out from before you.You shall be blameless with Yahweh your God.For these nations that you shall dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery and to diviners; but as for you, Yahweh your God has not allowed you so to do.

Samuel said to Saul,“ You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of Yahweh your God, which he commanded you; for now Yahweh would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.But now your kingdom will not continue. Yahweh has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and Yahweh has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which Yahweh commanded you.”

Then Saul said to his servants,“ Seek for me a woman who has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her.” His servants said to him,“ Behold, there is a woman who has a familiar spirit at Endor.”Saul disguised himself and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. Then he said,“ Please consult for me by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomever I shall name to you.”The woman said to him,“ Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?”Saul swore to her by Yahweh, saying,“ As Yahweh lives, no punishment will happen to you for this thing.”Then the woman said,“ Whom shall I bring up to you?” He said,“ Bring Samuel up for me.”When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying,“ Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!”The king said to her,“ Don’t be afraid! What do you see?” The woman said to Saul,“ I see a god coming up out of the earth.”He said to her,“ What does he look like?” She said,“ An old man comes up. He is covered with a robe.” Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and showed respect.Samuel said to Saul,“ Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?” Saul answered,“ I am very distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, by prophets, or by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.”Samuel said,“ Why then do you ask me, since Yahweh has departed from you and has become your adversary?Yahweh has done to you as he spoke by me. Yahweh has torn the kingdom out of your hand, and given it to your neighbor, even to David.Because you didn’t obey Yahweh’s voice, and didn’t execute his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore Yahweh has done this thing to you today.Moreover Yahweh will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Yahweh will deliver the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.”Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was terrified, because of Samuel’s words. There was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all day long or all night long.

When they tell you,“ Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter,” shouldn’t a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?

As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.Following Paul and us, she cried out,“ These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit,“ I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.
