Bible Commentary for 1 Samuel 28:14

Wesley's Notes for 1 Samuel 28:14


28:14 A mantle - The usual habit of prophets, and particularly of Samuel, chap.#15:27|. If it was not Samuel, but an other spirit in his shape, it is not true, that Saul perceived it was Samuel. It seems Saul did not see him, so soon as the woman, which occasioned his asking those questions.
