1 Samuel 15:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

25 Now therefore, please forgive my sin and return with me so I can worship the LORD.”

26 “I will not return with you,” Samuel replied. “For you have rejected the word of the LORD, and He has rejected you as king over Israel.”

27 As Samuel turned to go, Saul grabbed the hem of his robe, and it tore.

28 So Samuel said to him, “The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbor who is better than you.

29 Moreover, the Glory of Israel does not lie or change His mind, for He is not a man, that He should change His mind.”
