You make a valid point, but 1 Samuel 28:16-19 is Samuel's words to Saul, and nothing in that text suggests that Samuel is there to "help" Saul, but only to affirm the truth of God's original words in 1 Samuel 15.<br>I cannot think of any devil that would pronounce a word from the Lord in this manner. In all instances where there are lying spirits and lying prophets, it was to tell the king that God was with him (see 1 Kings 22, for instance).<br><br>Fred
