1 Samuel 28:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 And Saul inquired of Yahweh, but Yahweh did not answer him, not by dreams or by the Urim[a] or by the prophets. 7 So Saul said to his servants, “Search for me a woman who is a medium[b] so that I may go to her and inquire of her.” His servants said to him, “Look there is a woman who is a medium in Endor.” 8 So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went with two of his men.[c] And they came to the woman by night and he said, “Please consult a spirit for me through the ritual pit,[d] and bring up for me the one whom I tell you.”
