1 Samuel 28:14 in Context — 1 Samuel 28

12 Lorsque la femme vit Samuel, elle poussa un grand cri, et elle dit à Saül: Pourquoi m’as-tu trompée! Tu es Saül?

13 Le roi lui dit: Ne crains rien; mais que vois-tu? La femme dit à Saül: je vois un dieu qui monte de la terre.

14 Il lui dit: Quelle figure a-t-il? Et elle répondit: C’est un vieillard qui monte et il est enveloppé d’un manteau. Saül comprit que c’était Samuel, et il s’inclina le visage contre terre et se prosterna.

15 Samuel dit à Saül: Pourquoi m’as-tu troublé, en me faisant monter? Saül répondit: Je suis dans une grande détresse: les Philistins me font la guerre, et Dieu s’est retiré de moi; il ne m’a répondu ni par les prophètes ni par des songes. Et je t’ai appelé pour que tu me fasses connaître ce que je dois faire.

16 Samuel dit: Pourquoi donc me consultes-tu, puisque l’Éternel s’est retiré de toi et qu’il est devenu ton ennemi?
