1 Samuel 13:8-14
8And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him. 9And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering. 10And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.1
11And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash; 12Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto Yhwh: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.2 13And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of Yhwh thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would Yhwh have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. 14But now thy kingdom shall not continue: Yhwh hath sought him a man after his own heart, And Yhwh hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Yhwh commanded thee.
