I Samuel 28:3

3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel, after weeping for him, had put his body in its last resting-place in Ramah, his town. And Saul had put away from the land all those who had control of spirits and who made use of secret arts.

3 Samuel já havia morrido há algum tempo, e todos os israelitas tinham pranteado muito a morte dele e o haviam sepultado na cidade de Ramá, sua cidade natal. Saul havia executado e expulsado de Israel todos os médiuns e aqueles que consultavam espíritos.
