1 SAMUEL 28:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.”
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, 'I pray thee, divine unto me by the means of the familiar spirit, and bring me up him whom I shall name unto thee' — Saul's disguise ('vayṯaltaš šāʾûl vayyalbāš begādîm aḥḥērim') and nocturnal approach ('balayyᴵl') show he knows his act to be transgressive. His request ('naḥšî-lî nāʾ baʾôb') asks for necromantic divination, summoning the dead.
