1 Samuel 15:24-35

24Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, “1I have sinnedH2398; 2I have indeedH3588 transgressedH5674 the 3commandH6310 of the LordH3068 and your wordsH1697, becauseH3588 I fearedH3372 the peopleH5971 and listenedH8085 to their voiceH6963. 25NowH6258 therefore, 4pleaseH4994 pardonH5545 my sinH2403 and returnH7725 with me, that I may worshipH7812 the LordH3068.” 26But SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “I will not returnH7725 with you; for 5you have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, and the LordH3068 has rejectedH3988 you from beingH1961 kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478.” 27As SamuelH8050 turnedH5437 to goH1980, 6Saul seizedH2388 the edgeH3671 of his robeH4598, and it toreH7167. 28So SamuelH8050 saidH559 to him, “7The LordH3068 has tornH7167 the kingdomH4468 of IsraelH3478 from you todayH3117 and has givenH5414 it to your neighborH7453, who is betterH2896 thanH4480 you. 29AlsoH1571 the 89GloryH5331 of IsraelH3478 10will not lieH8266 or changeH5162 His mindH5162; for He is not a manH120 that He should changeH5162 His mindH5162.” 30Then he saidH559, “I have sinnedH2398; 11but pleaseH4994 honorH3513 me nowH6258 beforeH5048 the eldersH2205 of my peopleH5971 and beforeH5048 IsraelH3478, and goH7725 backH7725 with me, 12that I may worshipH7812 the LordH3068 your GodH430.” 31So SamuelH8050 wentH7725 backH7725 followingH310 SaulH7586, and SaulH7586 worshipedH7812 the LordH3068.

32Then SamuelH8050 saidH559, “BringH5066 me AgagH90, the kingH4428 of the AmalekitesH6002.” And AgagH90 cameH1980 to him 13cheerfullyH4575. And AgagH90 saidH559, “SurelyH403 the bitternessH4751 of deathH4194 is pastH5493.” 33But SamuelH8050 saidH559, “14As your swordH2719 has madeH7921 womenH802 childlessH7921, soH3651 shall your motherH517 be childlessH7921 amongH4480 womenH802.” And SamuelH8050 hewedH8158 AgagH90 to piecesH8158 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 at GilgalH1537.

34Then SamuelH8050 wentH1980 to 15RamahH7414, but SaulH7586 wentH5927 up to his houseH1004 at 16GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586. 3517SamuelH8050 didH3254 not seeH7200 SaulH7586 againH3254 untilH5704 the dayH3117 of his deathH4194; for SamuelH8050 18grievedH56 overH413 SaulH7586. And the LordH3068 regrettedH5162 that He had madeH4427 SaulH7586 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478.
