1 Samuel 28:18

Saul and the Medium of Endor

17He has done exactly what He spoke through me: The LORD has torn the kingship out of your hand and given it to your neighbor David.18Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out His burning anger against Amalek, the LORD has done this to you today.19Moreover, the LORD will deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. And the LORD will deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
