28 Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel away from you today and given it to someone who is a better man than you.
29 Israel's majestic God does not lie or change his mind. He is not a human being — he does not change his mind.”
30 “I have sinned,” Saul replied. “But at least show me respect in front of the leaders of my people and all Israel. Go back with me so that I can worship the Lord your God.”
31 So Samuel went back with him, and Saul worshipped the Lord.
32 “Bring King Agag here to me,” Samuel ordered. Agag came to him, trembling with fear, thinking to himself, “What a bitter thing it is to die!”
33 Samuel said, “As your sword has made many mothers childless, so now will your mother become childless.” And he cut Agag to pieces in front of the altar in Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah, and King Saul went home to Gibeah.
