6 “If ^ua person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, ^vI will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.

Punishment for Child Sacrifice

1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

7 Then Saul said to his servants, ^r“Seek out for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him, “Behold, there is a medium at ^sEn-dor.”

11 Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” He said, “Bring up Samuel for me.”

Saul and the Medium of En-dor

1 In those days ⁱthe Philistines gathered their forces for war, to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, “Understand that you and your men are to go out with me in the army.”

13 So Saul died ^afor his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord, and also ^bconsulted a medium, seeking guidance. 14 He ^cdid not seek guidance from the Lord. Therefore the Lord put him to death and ^dturned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
