Saul Doesn’t Keep Yahweh’s Commandment
8 So (A)he waited seven days, according to the appointed time set by Samuel, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattering from him. 9 So Saul said, “Bring near to me the burnt offering and the peace offerings.” And (B)he offered the burnt offering. 10 And as soon as he finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and (C)Saul went out to meet him and to [a]greet him. 11 But Samuel said, “What have you done?” And Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the appointed days, and that (D)the Philistines were assembling at Michmash, 12 therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favor of Yahweh.’ So I forced myself and offered the burnt offering.” 13 And Samuel said to Saul, “(E)You have acted foolishly; (F)you have not kept the commandment of Yahweh your God, which He commanded you, for now Yahweh would have established your kingdom [b]over Israel (G)forever. 14 But (H)now your kingdom shall not endure. (I)Yahweh has sought out for Himself a man after His own heart, and Yahweh has appointed him as ruler over His people because you have not kept what Yahweh commanded you.”

New American Standard Bible
8 Now (A)he waited for seven days, until the appointed time that Samuel had set, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattering from him. 9 So Saul said, “Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings.” And (B)he offered the burnt offering. 10 But as soon as he finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and (C)Saul went out to meet him and to [a]greet him. 11 But Samuel said, “What have you done?” And Saul said, “Since I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come at the appointed [b]time, and that (D)the Philistines were assembling at Michmash, 12 I [c]thought, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not [d]asked the favor of the Lord.’ So I worked up the courage and offered the burnt offering.” 13 But Samuel said to Saul, “(E)You have acted foolishly! (F)You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, for the Lord would now have established your kingdom [e]over Israel (G)forever. 14 But (H)now your kingdom shall not endure. (I)The Lord has sought for Himself a man [f]after His own heart, and the Lord has appointed him ruler over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”

1 Samuel 13:8-14
New International Version
8 He waited seven(A) days, the time set by Samuel; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and Saul’s men began to scatter. 9 So he said, “Bring me the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings.” And Saul offered(B) up the burnt offering. 10 Just as he finished making the offering, Samuel(C) arrived, and Saul went out to greet(D) him.
11 “What have you done?” asked Samuel.
Saul replied, “When I saw that the men were scattering, and that you did not come at the set time, and that the Philistines were assembling at Mikmash,(E) 12 I thought, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal,(F) and I have not sought the Lord’s favor.(G)’ So I felt compelled to offer the burnt offering.”
13 “You have done a foolish thing,(H)” Samuel said. “You have not kept(I) the command the Lord your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time.(J) 14 But now your kingdom(K) will not endure; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart(L) and appointed(M) him ruler(N) of his people, because you have not kept(O) the Lord’s command.”
