14 And the very spirit of Jehovah departed+ from Saul, and a bad spirit+ from Jehovah terrorized him.

15 And “Samuel” began to say to Saul: “Why have you disturbed me by having me brought up?”+ To this Saul said: “I am in very sore straits,+ as the Phi·lisʹtines are fighting against me, and God* himself has departed+ from me and has answered me no more, either by means of the prophets or by dreams;+ so that I am calling you to let me know what I shall do.”+
