28. Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors who is better than you.
29. The Lord is the Eternal One of Israel. He does not lie or change his mind. He is not a human being, so he does not change his mind.
30. Saul answered, “I have sinned. But please honor me in front of the elders of my people and in front of the Israelites. Come back with me so that I can worship the Lord your God.”
31. So Samuel went back with Saul, and Saul worshiped the Lord.
32. Then Samuel said, “Bring me King Agag of the Amalekites.”Agag came to Samuel in chains, but Agag thought, “Surely the threat of death has passed.”
