In 1 Samuel 18, Saul, in his fear, enquires of the Lord but receives no answer. His solution is to ask a woman with a "familiar spirit" to bring up Samuel from the dead.
Saul seems convinced, but was it truly Samuel?
Matthew Henry, for one, says no. Comments?
1Sa 28:11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
1Sa 28:14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
