## 1 Samuel 28:14 in Context (Verses 11–17 KJV)
 
 [11 ](/kjv/1-samuel/28/11) Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/1-samuel/28/12) And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou *art* Saul.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-samuel/28/13) And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/1-samuel/28/14) And he said unto her, What form *is* he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he *is* covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it *was* Samuel, and he stooped with *his* face to the ground, and bowed himself.*
 
 [15 ](/kjv/1-samuel/28/15) ¶ And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.*
 
 [16 ](/kjv/1-samuel/28/16) Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?
 
 [17 ](/kjv/1-samuel/28/17) And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, *even* to David:**
