1 Samuel 15:23-30

23For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatryH8655 and teraphimH8655. BecauseH3588 thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428.

24And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, I have sinnedH2398: for I have transgressed the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, and thy wordsH1697: becauseH3588 I fearedH3372 the peopleH5971, and obeyedH8085 their voiceH6963.

25NowH6258 therefore, I prayH4994 thee, pardonH5375 my sinH2403, and turnH7725 againH7725 with meH4994, that I may worshipH7812 the LORDH3068.

26And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I will notH3808 returnH7725 with thee: for thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 thee from beingH1961 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.

27And as SamuelH8050 turnedH5437 aboutH5437 to goH5437 awayH5437, he laidH2388 holdH2388 upon the skirtH3671 of his robeH4598, and it rent.

28And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto him, The LORDH3068 hath rent the kingdomH4468 of IsraelH3478 from thee this dayH3117, and hath givenH5414 it to a neighbour of thine, that is betterH2896 thanH4480 thou.

29And also the StrengthH5331 of IsraelH3478 will notH3808 lieH8266 norH3808 repentH5162: for he is notH3808 a manH120. that he should repentH5162.

30Then he saidH559, I have sinnedH2398: yet honour meH4994 nowH6258, I prayH4994 thee, beforeH5048 the eldersH2205 of my peopleH5971, and beforeH5048 IsraelH3478, and turnH7725 againH7725 with meH4994, that I may worshipH7812 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
