23 because rebellion is as bad as the sin of divination;
    arrogance is like the evil of idolatry.[a]
Because you have rejected what the Lord said,
    he has rejected you as king.”

24 Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned because I disobeyed the Lord’s command and your instructions. I was afraid of the troops and obeyed them. 25 But now please forgive my sin! Come back with me, so I can worship the Lord.”
