1 Samuel 15:24-35

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. 31SoH7725 SamuelH8050 turnedH7725 againH7725 afterH310 SaulH7586; and SaulH7586 worshipped the LORDH3068. 32Then saidH559 SamuelH8050, BringH5066 ye hither to meH413 AgagH90 the kingH4428 of the AmalekitesH6002. And AgagH90 cameH5066 unto him delicately. And AgagH90 saidH559, SurelyH403 the bitternessH4751 of deathH4194 is pastH5493. 33And SamuelH8050 saidH559, As thy swordH2719 hath madeH7921 womenH802 childlessH7921, soH3651 shall thy motherH517 be childlessH7921 among womenH802. And SamuelH8050 hewedH8158 AgagH90 in piecesH8158 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 in GilgalH1537. 34Then SamuelH8050 wentH5927 to RamahH7414; and SaulH7586 wentH5927 upH5927 to his houseH1004 to GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586. 35And SamuelH8050 cameH413 noH3808 moreH3254 to seeH7200 SaulH7586 untilH5704 the dayH3117 of his deathH4194; for SamuelH8050 mournedH56 for SaulH7586: and the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 that he had made SaulH7586 kingH4427 over IsraelH3478.
