War has broken out. The Philistines are attacking. Saul is terrified. He needs reassurance. God won't answer him!

He resorts to a necromancer, a woman who raises spirits from the grave. And Saul chooses to raise Samuel from the dead. What will Samuel say to him? The most simple truth, but the most devastating news that Saul could ever hear.
