1 Samuel 15:24-35
24And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, I have sinnedH2398; for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and thy wordsH1697, because I fearedH3372 the peopleH5971, and obeyed their voiceH6963. 25NowH6258 thereforeH6258, I pray thee, pardon my sinH2403, and turnH7725 again with me, that I may worship Jehovah. 26And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I will not returnH7725 with thee; for thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, and Jehovah hath rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428 over IsraelH3478. 27And as SamuelH8050 turnedH5437 about to goH5437 awayH5437, Saul laid holdH2388 upon the skirtH3671 of his robeH4598, and it rent. 28And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto him, Jehovah hath rent the kingdomH4468 of IsraelH3478 from thee this dayH3117, and hath givenH5414 it to a neighborH7453 of thine, that is betterH2896 than thou. 29And alsoH1571 the Strength of IsraelH3478 will not lie nor repentH5162; for he is not a manH120, that he should repentH5162. 30Then he saidH559, I have sinnedH2398: yet honorH3513 me nowH6258, I pray thee, before the eldersH2205 of my peopleH5971, and before IsraelH3478, and turnH7725 again with me, that I may worship Jehovah thy GodH430. 31So SamuelH8050 turnedH7725 again after SaulH7586; and SaulH7586 worshipped Jehovah.
32Then saidH559 SamuelH8050, BringH5066 ye hither to me AgagH90 the kingH4428 of the Amalekites. And AgagH90 came unto him cheerfully. And AgagH90 saidH559, Surely the bitternessH4751 of deathH4194 is past. 33And SamuelH8050 saidH559, As thy swordH2719 hath madeH7921 womenH802 childlessH7921, soH3651 shall thy motherH517 be childlessH7921 among womenH802. And SamuelH8050 hewed AgagH90 in pieces before Jehovah in GilgalH1537.
34Then SamuelH8050 wentH5927 to RamahH7414; and SaulH7586 wentH5927 up to his houseH1004 to GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586. 35And SamuelH8050 came no more to seeH7200 SaulH7586 until the dayH3117 of his deathH4194; for SamuelH8050 mournedH56 for SaulH7586: and Jehovah repentedH5162 that he had made SaulH7586 kingH4427 over IsraelH3478.
