1 Samuel 15:24-35

24And SaulH7586 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, I have sinnedH2398, for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and thy wordsH1697; for I fearedH3372 the peopleH5971, and hearkened to their voiceH6963. 25And nowH6258, I pray thee, forgiveH5375 my sinH2403, and turnH7725 again with me, that I may worship Jehovah. 26And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, I will not turnH7725 again with thee; for thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, and Jehovah has rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428 over IsraelH3478. 27And as SamuelH8050 turnedH5437 to goH5437 awayH5437, [Saul] laid holdH2388 upon the skirtH3671 of his mantle, and it rent. 28Then SamuelH8050 saidH559 to him, Jehovah has rent the kingdomH4468 of IsraelH3478 from thee to-day, and has givenH5414 it to thy neighbour, who is betterH2896 than thou. 29And alsoH1571 the Hope of IsraelH3478 will not lie nor repentH5162; for he is not a manH120, that he should repentH5162. 30And he saidH559, I have sinnedH2398; honour 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 1GodH430. 31So SamuelH8050 turnedH7725 again after SaulH7586; and SaulH7586 worshipped Jehovah. 32And SamuelH8050 saidH559, BringH5066 ye near to me AgagH90 the kingH4428 of AmalekH6002. And AgagH90 came to him gaily. And AgagH90 saidH559, Surely the bitternessH4751 of deathH4194 is past. 33And SamuelH8050 saidH559, As thy swordH2719 has madeH7921 womenH802 childlessH7921, soH3651 shall thy motherH517 be childlessH7921 above womenH802. And SamuelH8050 hewed AgagH90 in pieces before Jehovah in GilgalH1537. 34And SamuelH8050 wentH5927 to RamahH7414; and SaulH7586 wentH5927 up to his houseH1004 to GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586. 35And SamuelH8050 sawH7200 SaulH7586 no more until the dayH3117 of his deathH4194; for SamuelH8050 mournedH56 over SaulH7586; and Jehovah repentedH5162 that he had made SaulH7586 kingH4427 over IsraelH3478.
