Read in context

1 Samuel 15:27–31 · Berean Standard Bible

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.”

30 “I have sinned,” Saul replied. “Please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel. Come back with me, so that I may worship the LORD your God.”

31 So Samuel went back with Saul, and Saul worshiped the LORD.
