27 Samuel turned to leave, but Saul grabbed at the edge of his robe, and it ripped.
28 Then Samuel told him, "The Lord has ripped the kingdom of Israel from you today. He will give it to a friend of yours, someone who is more worthy than you.
29 What’s more, the enduring one of Israel doesn’t take back what he says and doesn’t change his mind. He is not a human being who would change his mind."
30 "I have sinned," Saul said, "but please honor me in front of my people’s elders and before Israel, and come back with me so I can worship the Lord your God."
31 So Samuel went back with Saul, and Saul worshipped the Lord.
32 "Bring me Agag the Amalekite king," Samuel said.Agag came to him in chains, asking, "Would death have been as bitter as this is?"
33 Samuel said, "Just as your sword left women without their children, now your mother will be childless among women." Then Samuel cut Agag to pieces in the Lord’s presence at Gilgal.
