26. Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you; for you have rejected Yahweh’s word, and Yahweh has rejected you from being king over Israel.”
27. As Samuel turned around to go away, Saul grabbed the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
28. Samuel said to him, “Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours who is better than you.
29. Also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.”
