1Samuel:15:24-35
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Saul said to Samuel , "
I have sinned ;
for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD and your words ,
because I feared the people and obeyed their voice .
*
Now therefore ,
I pray ,
pardon my sin ,
and return with me ,
that I may worship the LORD ."
*
And Samuel said to Saul , "
I will not return with you ;
for you have rejected the word of the LORD ,
and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel ."
*
As Samuel turned to go away ,
Saul laid hold upon the skirt of his robe ,
and it tore .
*
And Samuel said to him , "
The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day ,
and has given it to a neighbor of yours ,
who is better than you .
*
And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or repent ;
for he is not a man ,
that he should repent ."
*
Then he said , "
I have sinned ;
yet honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel ,
and return with me ,
that I may worship the LORD your God ."
*
So Samuel turned back after Saul ;
and Saul worshiped the LORD .
*
Then Samuel said , "
Bring here to me Agag the king of the Amal '
ekites ."
And Agag came to him cheerfully .
Agag said , "
Surely the bitterness of death is past ."
*
And Samuel said , "
As your sword has made women childless ,
so shall your mother be childless among women ."
And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal .
*
Then Samuel went to Ramah ;
and Saul went up to his house in Gib '
e-ah of Saul .
*
And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death ,
but Samuel grieved over Saul .
And the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel .
