+

In chapter 28 [[Saul]] resorts to spiritism. He had departed from the [[Lord]] and therefore had no divine guidance. Saul's only recourse was to visit a witch, and this was prohibited by the Law. It is alarming to what ends a man will go when he has turned his back on the [[Lord]].

+

This was not a case of a medium communicating with the spirit of a deceased person. It was [[God]] actually calling back [[Samuel]] in spirit form to pronounce impending doom upon Saul.

+

It is unbelievable that King Saul, a man chosen by [[God]], could ever participate in so wicked a deed; yet the record is there. He walked in darkness, not in light; he disguised himself (yet was actually revealing his true character); he allowed a woman to break the Law; he brought shame and defeat upon his nation, his army, his family, and himself.

+

[[David]]'s sojourn in enemy territory forced him to lie to the king and when the Philistines did gather, [[David]] was almost forced to fight against his own people. When we lean on the wisdom of the flesh, we always end up in trouble. It was only the [[grace]] of [[God]] that kept [[David]] from having to reveal his true colors and slay his own people.
