 1 SAMUEL 28

Saul tries to consult God for advice but receives no reply, so he visits the Witch of Endor. He asks her to bring up Samuel from the dead, which she does, and Samuel admonishes Saul for acting this way and tells him that owing to Saul's past failure to commit complete genocide regarding Amalek, Saul is already condemned.
