Saul had expelled all the mediums and
spiritists from Israel, but he
told his attendants:
"Find me a medium that I can
consult!"
(A medium is a person who claims to be
able to raise, and talk to, the spirit of a dead person.)

in Endor.

the mediums and spiritists from Israel.

was worthless?
He had prophesies with the prophets.
He knew God was with David, but not with him.
Had Saul literally lost his mind?
