Bible Question:
I Samuel 28:15 Where was Samuel brought up from? |
Bible Answer: That's a good question. The context though indicates that what was happening was not approved by God. As you read through the context, divination is involved. Since divination was not approved by God, you can be sure that the Samuel mentioned in 1 Samuel 28:15 was indeed not Samuel. 1 Sam 28:5 When Saul saw the Philistine host, he was afraid; his heart trembled greatly. 1 Sam 28:6 When Saul inquired of the Lord, He refused to answer him, either by dreams or by Urim [a symbol worn by the priest when seeking the will of God for Israel] or by the prophets. [Prov. 1:24-30.] 1 Sam 28:7 Then Saul said to his servants, Find me a woman who is a medium [between the living and the dead], that I may go and inquire of her. His servants said, Behold, there is a woman who is a medium at Endor. 1 Sam 28:8 So Saul disguised himself, put on other raiment, and he and two men with him went and came to the woman at night. He said to her, Perceive for me by the familiar spirit and bring up for me the dead person whom I shall name to you. 1 Sam 28:9 The woman said, See here, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who are mediums and wizards out of the land. Why then do you lay a trap for my life to cause my death? 1 Sam 28:10 And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord lives, there shall no punishment come to you for this. 1 Sam 28:11 The woman said, Whom shall I bring up for you? He said, Bring up Samuel for me. 1 Sam 28:12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she screamed and she said to Saul, Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul! 1 Sam 28:13 The king said to her, Be not afraid; what do you see? The woman said to Saul, I see a god [terrifying superhuman being] coming up out of the earth! 1 Sam 28:14 He said to her, In what form is he? And she said, An old man comes up, covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground and made obeisance. 1 Sam 28:15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you disturbed me to bring me up? Saul answered, I am bitterly distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and answers me no more, either by prophets or by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I should do. |
