1 Samuel 28:18

18 You didn't obey the Lord. You didn't carry out his burning anger against the Amalekites. So he's punishing you today.

1 Samuel 28:18 In-Context

16 Samuel said, "The LORD has turned away from you. He has become your enemy. So why are you asking me what you should do?
17 The LORD has spoken through me and has done what he said he would do. He has torn the kingdom out of your hands. He has given it to one of your neighbors. He has given it to David.
18 You didn't obey the Lord. You didn't carry out his burning anger against the Amalekites. So he's punishing you today.
19 "He will hand both Israel and you over to the Philistines. Tomorrow you and your sons will be down here with me. The LORD will also hand Israel's army over to the Philistines."
20 Immediately Saul fell flat on the ground. What Samuel had said filled Saul with fear. His strength was gone. He hadn't eaten anything all that day and night.
