Saul’s fear when facing a large enemy army leads him to seek guidance from the Lord, but the Lord refuses to answer. Saul then turns to a forbidden medium, disguising himself and arranging a secret request to summon the spirit of a specific man, while the woman raises concerns about a possible trap.","050 The Death of Saul  \n1 Samuel 28, 31 2 Samuel 1:11-12; 2:1-4; 5:1-5 English Spiritual  \n050 The Death of Saul  \nEnglish  \n© 2020 Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc.  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

They buried him in Ramah, his hometown.  \nThen the Philistine army made war on Israel again. The army camped near the village of Shunem. Saul and all the army of Israel camped on Mount Gilboa. When Saul saw how large the Philistine army was, he was terrified.  \nSaul asked the Lord what he should do. But the Lord refused to answer. So Saul told his advisors,“Find a woman who can talk to the spirits of the dead, a medium, so I can ask her what I should do.”  \nNow Saul had already exiled all the mediumsand wizards from the land of Israel. Yet, the servants knew there was a woman medium living in the village of Endor, and they told Saul about her.  \nSaul put on different clothes so no one would know who he was and went to see her that night. Saul said to her,“Call up the spirit of theman I name.”  \nBut the woman was suspicious. So she said,“Why are you setting a trap for me? You know that King Saul has forbidden anyone to speak to the spirits.”","cbCailIKyJEtR6ih","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailIKyJEtR6ih","pdf",4124785,3,23,"English","en",105,"# Samuel’s Death\n## Renewed Conflict and Saul’s Fear\n# Saul Seeks Guidance\n## The Lord Refuses to Answer\n## Consulting a Forbidden Medium\n## The Woman’s Suspicion","[{\"question\":\"What happens after Samuel dies?\",\"answer\":\"Samuel the prophet dies and all Israel mourns for him.
