1 Samuel 13:7-14
7Now some of the HebrewsH5680 had gone over the JordanH3383 to the landH776 of GadH1410 and GileadH1568; but as for SaulH7586, he was yetH5750 in GilgalH1537, and all the peopleH5971 followed him tremblingH2729.
8And he tarried sevenH7651 daysH3117, according to the set time that SamuelH8050 had appointedH4150: but SamuelH8050 cameH935 not to GilgalH1537; and the peopleH5971 were scatteredH6327 from him. 9And SaulH7586 saidH559, BringH5927 hither the burnt-offering to me, and the peace-offerings. And he offeredH5927 the burnt-offering. 10And it cameH935 to pass that, as soon as he had made an endH3615 of offeringH5927 the burnt-offering, behold, SamuelH8050 cameH935; and SaulH7586 wentH3318 out to meetH7122 him, that he might salute him. 11And SamuelH8050 saidH559, What hast thou done? And SaulH7586 saidH559, Because I sawH7200 that the peopleH5971 were scatteredH5310 from me, and that thou camest not within the daysH3117 appointedH4150, and that the PhilistinesH6430 assembled themselves together at Michmash; 12thereforeH6258 saidH559 I, NowH6258 will the PhilistinesH6430 comeH5927 down upon me to GilgalH1537, and I have not entreated the favor of Jehovah: I forced myself thereforeH6258, and offeredH5927 the burnt-offering. 13And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Thou hast done foolishlyH5528; thou hast not keptH8104 the commandmentH4687 of Jehovah thy GodH430, which he commandedH6680 thee: for nowH6258 would Jehovah have establishedH3559 thy kingdomH4467 upon IsraelH3478 for everH5769. 14But nowH6258 thy kingdomH4467 shall not continue: Jehovah hath soughtH1245 him a manH376 after his own heartH3824, and Jehovah hath appointedH6680 him to be princeH5057 over his peopleH5971, because thou hast not keptH8104 that which Jehovah commandedH6680 thee.
