27. As Samuel turned to go, Saul seized a loose end of his garment, and it tore off.
28. So 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.
29. The Glory of Israel neither deceives nor repents, for he is not a mortal who repents.”
30. But Saul answered: “I have sinned, yet honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel. Return with me that I may worship the Lord your God.”
31. And so Samuel returned with him, and Saul worshiped the Lord.
32. Afterward Samuel commanded, “Bring Agag, king of Amalek, to me.” Agag came to him struggling and saying, “So it is bitter death!”
33. And Samuel said,“As your sword has made women childless,so shall your mother be childless among women.”Then he cut Agag to pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.
34. Samuel departed for Ramah, while Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.
35. Never again, as long as he lived, did Samuel see Saul. Yet he grieved over Saul, because the Lord repented that he had made him king of Israel.
