For rebellion is as reprehensible as the sin of divination, And insubordination is as reprehensible as false religion and idolatry. Since you have rejected the word of the Lord, He has also rejected you from being king.”

‘ As for the person who turns to mediums and to spiritists, to play the prostitute with them, I will also set My face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.

‘ Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.

There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, a soothsayer, one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer,or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who consults the dead.For whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord; and because of these detestable things the Lord your God is going to drive them out before you.You are to be blameless before the Lord your God.For these nations, which you are going to dispossess, listen to soothsayers and diviners, but as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do so.

But Samuel said to Saul,“ You have acted foolishly! You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, for the Lord would now have established your kingdom over Israel forever.But now your kingdom shall not endure. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has appointed him ruler over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”

Then Saul said to his servants,“ Find for me a woman who is a medium, so that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him,“ Behold, there is a woman who is a medium at En dor.”Then Saul disguised himself by putting on different clothes, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said,“ Consult the spirit for me, please, and bring up for me the one whom I shall name for you.”But the woman said to him,“ Behold, you know what Saul has done, that he has eliminated the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why are you then setting a trap for my life, to bring about my death?”So Saul swore an oath to her by the Lord, saying,“ As the Lord lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing.”Then the woman said,“ Whom shall I bring up for you?” And he said,“ Bring up Samuel for me.”When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying,“ Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!”But the king said to her,“ Do not be afraid; but what do you see?” And the woman said to Saul,“ I see a divine being coming up from the earth.”He said to her,“ How does he appear?” And she said,“ An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped in a robe.” Then Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and paid homage.And Samuel said to Saul,“ Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Saul replied,“ I am very distressed, for the Philistines are waging war against me, and God has abandoned me and no longer answers me, either through prophets or in dreams; therefore I have called you, so that you may let me know what I should do.”Samuel said,“ But why ask me, since the Lord has abandoned you and has become your enemy?And the Lord has done just as He spoke through me; for the Lord has torn the kingdom from your hand and given it to your neighbor, to David.Just as you did not obey the Lord and did not execute His fierce wrath on Amalek, so the Lord has done this thing to you this day.Furthermore, the Lord will also hand Israel along with you over to the Philistines; so tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Indeed, the Lord will hand the army of Israel over to the Philistines!”Then Saul immediately fell full length to the ground and was very afraid because of Samuel’s words; there was no strength in him either, because he had eaten no food all day and all night.

When they say to you,“ Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,” should a people not consult their God? Should they consult the dead in behalf of the living?

It happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave woman who had a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing great profit to her masters by fortune telling.She followed Paul and us and cried out repeatedly, saying,“ These men are bond servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you a way of salvation.”Now she continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and he turned and said to the spirit,“ I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out at that very moment.

This is what the Lord of armies says:‘ I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, in that he obstructed him on the way while he was coming up from Egypt.

Now a man named Simon had previously been practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of Samaria, claiming to be someone great;and all the people, from small to great, were paying attention to him, saying,“ This man is the Power of God that is called Great.”And they were paying attention to him because for a long time he had astounded them with his magic arts.

And he made his son pass through the fire, interpreted signs, practiced divination, and used mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him to anger.
