espíritu de adivinación
Hello Smartranslators,
Concerning the story of Saul, the NVI Bible refers to those in your text as "gente con espíritu de adivinación". Other versions call them adivinos / espiritistas / hechiceros / encantadores / gente que invoca a los muertos / mediums.
You can find the whole story in 1 Samuel 28:1-25
Look for 1 Samuel 28:7-9 which refers very specifically to this question.
Hope it helps,
Elena

personas "a través de lascuales comunican los muertos"
this answer is the definition of a "medium" which is mentioned just afterwards in your text -- a person who is able to communicate with "dead" people who wish to speak through her or him to their loved ones on earth. I have met many mediums as I belonged to a Spiritualist Church when I lived in the U.K., and have received many messages through them from my grandparents and others.
