1 Samuel 15:28-30

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁸ And Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this very day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you. ²⁹ Moreover the Glory of Israel will not recant^[a] or change his mind; for he is not a mortal, that he should change his mind.” ³⁰ Then Saul^[b] said, “I have sinned; yet honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, so that I may worship the Lord your God.”
