1 Samuel 28:15

Samuel asked Saul, "Why have you disturbed me and brought me up?" Saul answered, "I am in deep trouble. The Philistines are making war on me, and God has turned away from me and answers me no longer, whether through the prophets or in dreams. That is why I have called on you, so that you can tell me what I ought to do."
