1 Samuel 15:22-29

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hath the LORD
<03068>

[as great] delight
<02656>

in burnt offerings
<05930>

and sacrifices
<02077>_,

as in obeying
<08085> (8800)

the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>_?

Behold, to obey
<08085> (8800)

[is] better
<02896>

than sacrifice
<02077>_,

[and] to hearken
<07181> (8687)

than the fat
<02459>

of rams
<0352>_.

For rebellion
<04805>

[is as] the sin
<02403>

of witchcraft
<07081>_,

and stubbornness
<06484> (8687)

[is as] iniquity
<0205>

and idolatry
<08655>_.

Because thou hast rejected
<03988> (8804)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

he hath also rejected
<03988> (8799)

thee from [being] king
<04428>_.

{witchcraft: Heb. divination}

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_:

for I have transgressed
<05674> (8804)

the commandment
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and thy words
<01697>_:

because I feared
<03372> (8804)

the people
<05971>_,

and obeyed
<08085> (8799)

their voice
<06963>_.

Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon
<05375> (8798)

my sin
<02403>_,

and turn again
<07725> (8798)

with me, that I may worship
<07812> (8691)

the LORD
<03068>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

I will not return
<07725> (8799)

with thee: for thou hast rejected
<03988> (8804)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

hath rejected
<03988> (8799)

thee from being king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_.

And as Samuel
<08050>

turned about
<05437> (8735)

to go away
<03212> (8800)_,

he laid hold
<02388> (8686)

upon the skirt
<03671>

of his mantle
<04598>_,

and it rent
<07167> (8735)_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, The LORD
<03068>

hath rent
<07167> (8804)

the kingdom
<04468>

of Israel
<03478>

from thee this day
<03117>_,

and hath given
<05414> (8804)

it to a neighbour
<07453>

of thine, [that is] better
<02896>

than thou.

And also the Strength
<05331>

of Israel
<03478>

will not lie
<08266> (8762)

nor repent
<05162> (8735)_:

for he [is] not a man
<0120>_,

that he should repent
<05162> (8736)_.

{Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory}
