28. Then Samuel said to him, “Yahweh 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 will not break faith and will not regret, for he is not a human that he should regret.”
30. Then he said, “I have sinned! Now please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me so that I can worship Yahweh your God.”
31. So Samuel returned after Saul, and Saul worshiped Yahweh.
32. Then Samuel said, “Bring Agag the king of Amalek out to me!” Agag came to him confidently, for Agag thought, “Surely the bitterness of death is over.”
33. Samuel said, “Just as your sword bereaved women, so will your mother be bereaved among women!” Then Samuel hacked Agag to pieces in the presence of Yahweh at Gilgal.
34. Then Samuel went to Ramah and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah of Saul.
35. Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, but Samuel mourned over Saul, and Yahweh regretted that he made Saul king over Israel.
