1 Samuel 28:4 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and cameand pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitchedin Gilboa.
5 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and hisheart greatly trembled.
6 And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neitherby dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiarspirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants saidto him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.
8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, andtwo men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I praythee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom Ishall name unto thee.

*** Error *** : 1SA 28:9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowestwhat Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits,and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare formy life, to cause me to die?

1 Samuel 28:10 And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth,there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bringme up Samuel.
12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the womanspake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? Andthe woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man comethup; 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 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 againstme, 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 knownunto me what I shall do.
16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORDis departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?
17 And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rentthe kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David:
18 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fiercewrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee thisday.
19 Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand ofthe Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORDalso shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
20 Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid,because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for hehad eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, andsaid unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I haveput my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakestunto me.
22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thinehandmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thoumayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.
23 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, togetherwith the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So hearose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
24 And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killedit, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:
25 And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they dideat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.

5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of thehouse of the LORD.

Ezekiel 12:22 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the landof Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverbto cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but sayunto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
24 For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divinationwithin the house of Israel.
25 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shallcome to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellioushouse, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 21:18 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the kingof Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choosethou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.
20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, andto Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the headof the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consultedwith images, he looked in the liver.
22 At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains,to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting,to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to builda fort.
23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to themthat have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, thatthey may be taken.

Acts 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessedwith a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gainby soothsaying:
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servantsof the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and saidto the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out ofher. And he came out the same hour.

Acts 19:11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons,and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to callover them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, Weadjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests,which did so.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know;but who are ye?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcamethem, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house nakedand wounded.
17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus;and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together,and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, andfound it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
