In the context of Saul's séance, this event is recorded in 1 Samuel 28. Saul, feeling pressured by the threats of the Philistines and not getting answers from God, went to a woman in En-Dor who was known as a séance caller. He asked her to summon the spirit of Samuel.

When Samuel appeared, he rebuked Saul for disturbing his peace and explained that God had rejected Saul as king. Samuel announced that Saul's kingdom would be given to David and that Saul and his sons would die in the coming battle (1 Samuel 28:15-19).

From this event, we can draw several conclusions:

The existence of Samuel's spirit: In this context, it seems that Samuel's spirit actually appeared, as the woman was surprised and recognized Saul. Samuel spoke directly to Saul, indicating that there was a real interaction.

The Sovereignty of God: Although Saul used a forbidden means to summon spirits, God remained sovereign and allowed Samuel to appear, confirming that His decisions are unchangeable.

A warning to Saul: Samuel reminds Saul of the consequences of his disobedience to God, which is at the heart of the message.

This event reminds us of the importance of obedience to God and the consequences of acting contrary to His will.
