掃羅犯罪、違耶和華命、不詢於耶和華、乃問於憑卜神者、故耶和華殺之、移其國祚、以畀耶西之子大闢。

如是、掃羅死、因其獲罪於主、不遵守主命、且因問交鬼之婦、而不詢主、主殺之、移其國歸耶西子大衛、

For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king.” (niv)

“‘ I will set my face against anyone who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute themselves by following them, and I will cut them off from their people. (niv)

“‘ Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God. (niv)

Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead.Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.You must be blameless before the Lord your God.The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the Lord your God has not permitted you to do so. (niv)

“ You have done a foolish thing,” Samuel said.“ You have not kept the command the Lord your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time.But now your kingdom will not endure; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you have not kept the Lord’s command.” (niv)

Saul then said to his attendants,“ Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her.”“ There is one in Endor,” they said.So Saul disguised himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman.“ Consult a spirit for me,” he said,“ and bring up for me the one I name.”But the woman said to him,“ Surely you know what Saul has done. He has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap for my life to bring about my death?”Saul swore to her by the Lord,“ As surely as the Lord lives, you will not be punished for this.”Then the woman asked,“ Whom shall I bring up for you?”“ Bring up Samuel,” he said.When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul,“ Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!”The king said to her,“ Don’t be afraid. What do you see?” The woman said,“ I see a ghostly figure coming up out of the earth.”“ What does he look like?” he asked.“ An old man wearing a robe is coming up,” she said. Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.Samuel said to Saul,“ Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?”“ I am in great distress,” Saul said.“ The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.”Samuel said,“ Why do you consult me, now that the Lord has departed from you and become your enemy?The Lord has done what he predicted through me. The Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors— to David.Because you did not obey the Lord or carry out his fierce wrath against the Amalekites, the Lord has done this to you today.The Lord will deliver both Israel and you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The Lord will also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, filled with fear because of Samuel’s words. His strength was gone, for he had eaten nothing all that day and all that night. (niv)

When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? (niv)

Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune- telling.She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting,“ These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.”She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit,“ In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her. (niv)

This is what the Lord Almighty says:‘ I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. (niv)
