1 Samuel 13:5-14

5Now the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen, and 1people like the sand which is on the seashore in abundance; and they came up and camped in Michmash, east of 2Beth-aven. 6When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were hard-pressed), then 3the people kept themselves hidden in caves, in crevices, in cliffs, in crypts, and in pits. 7And some of the Hebrews crossed the Jordan into the land of 4Gad and Gilead. But as for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him, trembling.

8Now 5he waited for seven days, until the appointed time that Samuel had set, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattering from him. 9So Saul said, “Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings.” And 6he offered the burnt offering. 10But as soon as he finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and 7Saul went out to meet him and to 8greet him. 11But Samuel said, “What have you done?” And Saul said, “Since I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come at the appointed 9time, and that 10the Philistines were assembling at Michmash, 12I 11thought, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not 12asked the favor of the Lord.’ So I worked up the courage and offered the burnt offering.” 13But Samuel said to Saul, “13You have acted foolishly! 14You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, for the Lord would now have established your kingdom 15over Israel 16forever. 14But 17now your kingdom shall not endure. 18The Lord has sought for Himself a man 19after His own heart, and the Lord has appointed him ruler over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”
