1 Samuel 15:24-35

24And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, I have sinnedH2398: for I have transgressedH5674 the commandmentH6310 of YhwhH3068, and thy wordsH1697: because I fearedH3372 the peopleH5971, and obeyedH8085 their voiceH6963. 25Now therefore, I pray thee, pardonH5375 my sinH2403, and turn againH7725 with me, that I may worshipH7812 YhwhH3068. 26And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I will not returnH7725 with thee: for thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, And YhwhH3068 hath rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428 over IsraelH3478. 27And as SamuelH8050 turned aboutH5437 to go awayH3212, he laid holdH2388 upon the skirtH3671 of his mantleH4598, and it rentH7167. 28And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto him, YhwhH3068 hath rentH7167 the kingdomH4468 of IsraelH3478 from thee this dayH3117, and hath givenH5414 it to a neighbourH7453 of thine, that is betterH2896 than thou. 29And also the StrengthH5331 of IsraelH3478 will not lieH8266 nor repentH5162: for he is not a manH120, that he should repentH5162.1 30Then he saidH559, I have sinnedH2398: yet honourH3513 me now, I pray thee, before the eldersH2205 of my peopleH5971, and before IsraelH3478, and turn againH7725 with me, that I may worshipH7812 YhwhH3068 thy GodH430. 31So SamuelH8050 turned againH7725 afterH310 SaulH7586; and SaulH7586 worshippedH7812 YhwhH3068.

32Then saidH559 SamuelH8050, Bring ye hitherH5066 to me AgagH90 the kingH4428 of the AmalekitesH6002. And AgagH90 cameH3212 unto him delicatelyH4574. And AgagH90 saidH559, SurelyH403 the bitternessH4751 of deathH4194 is pastH5493. 33And SamuelH8050 saidH559, As thy swordH2719 hath made womenH802 childlessH7921, so shall thy motherH517 be childlessH7921 among womenH802. And SamuelH8050 hewedH8158 AgagH90 in piecesH8158 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 in GilgalH1537.

34Then SamuelH8050 wentH3212 to RamahH7414; and SaulH7586 went upH5927 to his houseH1004 to GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586. 35And SamuelH8050 came no moreH3254 to seeH7200 SaulH7586 until the dayH3117 of his deathH4194: neverthelessH3588 SamuelH8050 mournedH56 for SaulH7586: And YhwhH3068 repentedH5162 that he had made SaulH7586 kingH4427 over IsraelH3478.
