1 Samuel 28:15
¶And xSamuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am y*sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and zGod is departed from me, and aanswereth me no more, neither 2by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.
¶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 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.
NKJV: Now Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” And Saul answered, “I am deeply distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore, neither by prophets nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may reveal to me what I should do.”
ESV: Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Saul answered, “I am in great distress, for the Philistines are warring against me, and God has turned away from me and answers me no more, either by prophets or by dreams. Therefore I have summoned you to tell me what I shall do.”
