Verse 15

1 Samuel 28:15

New King James Version

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 against me, and God (Elohim) is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.

English Translation
And Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me to bring me up?" And Saul answered, "I am very distressed, for the Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed from me and no longer answers me, not even through the prophets or by dreams. So I have called you to let me know what I should do."
