1Chr 10:13: "So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;"
You just implicated that God used forbidden and sinful practices, that God Himself forbid.
Exo 22:18: "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live."
Deu 18:10: "There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,"
1Sam 15:23: "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king."
Gal 5:20: "Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,"
Etc.
1Sam 28:6: "And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets."
God refused to answer by the right conduits, what makes you think God used the witch?
Saul knew God wasn't talking to him anymore. He didn't seek God:
1Sam 28:7: "Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor."
Lev 19:31: "Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God."
You are greatly self deceived.

that's so you can fall backward and be broken, snared, and caught.
finish reading the verse:
finish reading the verse:
But the word of the LORD was to them,
“Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little,”
That they might go and fall backward, and be broken and snared and caught.
(Isaiah 28:13)

"rest" is one word, not line upon line.
I think you do not understand what is being said here in Isaiah, and you need to do a little bit of reconciliation between some scriptures..
Galatians 5:14
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this:
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

It wasn't by the witches power but God's that Samuel was sent.
Everything in the text calls him Samuel and the witches shock and change of attitude confirms it.
It is only that some people are unwilling to believe what's written, and awe. It is certainly an amazing thing, but none of God's word should be rejected on the basis that it amazes us!

Acts 2
29 “My brothers, I can tell you for sure about David, our great ancestor. He died, was buried(Past tense), and his tomb is still here with us today. 30 He was a prophet and knew something that God had said. God had promised David that someone from his own family would sit on David’s throne as king. 31 David knew this before it happened. That is why he said this about that future king:
‘He was not left in the place of death.
His body did not rot in the grave.’
David was talking about the Messiah rising from death. 32 So Jesus is the one God raised from death. We are all witnesses of this. We saw him. 33 Jesus was lifted up to heaven. Now he is with God, at God’s right side. The Father has given the Holy Spirit to him, as he promised. So Jesus has now poured out that Spirit. This is what you see and hear. 34 David was not the one who was lifted up to heaven. David himself said,
‘The Lord God said to my Lord:
Sit at my right side,
35 until I put your enemies under your power.[e]’
36 “So, all the people of Israel should know this for certain: God has made Jesus to be Lord and Messiah. He is the man you nailed to the cross!”
Acts 13:36
Easy-to-Read Version
36 “David did God’s will during the time he lived. Then he died and was buried(also Past tense) like all his ancestors. And his body did rot in the grave!
Neither of your proof texts Brother, friend proves David was still in the grave after Jesus ascended.
