   Why is the king called "god" (elohim) in Ps.45:6 ?   
   Why is one of the names for the future king "mighty god" ('el   
   gibbor) in Isa.9:6 ?   
      
   As also for the dead:   
    "And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou?   
     And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods (elohim) ascending out of the   
     earth. And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old   
     man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived   
     that it was Samuel" - 1Sam.28:13   
   Such rituals were still practised at the time of Manasseh, btw.
