In this chapter the story switches back again to King Saul. He is in a difficult situation and God is not speaking to him. So he decides to call the pyshic hotline. Suddenly in the midst of the apparent seance, Samuel appears and basically tells Saul that his kingdom is finished and so is he. Fear grips Saul completely. His last supper is some veal, eaten with a medium while his enemies wait some 8 miles up the road. This passage reminds us of the reality of the afterlife; sin untreated will lead to damaged lives and damned souls. In addition we can learn some lessons about interpreting God’s silence in our lives.
