     * and to-morrow.
       There is considerable diversity of opinion, both among learned
       and pious men, relative to this appearance to Saul.  But the
       most probable opinion seems to be, that Samuel himself did
       actually appear to Saul, not by the power of enchantment, but
       by the appointment and especial mercy of God, to warn this
       infatuated monarch of his approaching end, that he might be
       reconciled with his Maker.  There is not the smallest
       intimation of chicanery or Satanic influence given in the
       text; but on the contrary, from the plain and obvious meaning
       of the language employed, it is perfectly evident that it was
       Samuel himself, {Shemooel hoo,} as it is expressed in ver. 14.
       Indeed the very soul of Samuel seems to breathe in his
       expressions of displeasure against the disobedience and
       wickedness of Saul; while the awful prophetic denunciations
       which accordingly came to pass, were such as neither human nor
       diabolical wisdom could foresee, and which could only be known
       to God himself, and to those to whom he chose to reveal them.
