1 Samuel 28:6-8
GOD’S WORD Translation
6 He prayed to the Lord, but the Lord didn’t answer him through dreams, the Urim,[a] or prophets. 7 Saul told his officers, “Find me a woman who conjures up the dead. Then I’ll go to her and ask for her services.”
His officers told him, “There is a woman at Endor who conjures up the dead.”
8 After disguising himself by putting on other clothes, Saul left with two men and came to the woman that night. He said to her, “Please consult with a dead person for me. Conjure up the person I request.”

1 Samuel 28:6-8
New International Version
6 He inquired(A) of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him by dreams(B) or Urim(C) or prophets.(D) 7 Saul then said to his attendants, “Find me a woman who is a medium,(E) so I may go and inquire of her.”
“There is one in Endor,(F)” they said.
8 So Saul disguised(G) himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. “Consult(H) a spirit for me,” he said, “and bring up for me the one I name.”
