1 Samuel 28:3

Now, Samuel was dead, 1 Samuel 25:1, and all Israel had lamented him, observing the customary mourning, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city, in the garden or court of his house, And Saul, in accordance with the very strict provisions of the Law, Exodus 22:18; Leviticus 19:31; Leviticus 20:27; Deuteronomy 18:10, had put away those that had familiar spirits, the conjurers of the dead, and the wizards, the necromancers or speaking soothsayers, out of the land, in order to show himself jealous for God's honor and thus to win Jehovah's favor.
