28 And Samuel said unto him, The Lord has rent the kingdom of Israel from thee today and has given it to a neighbour of thine that is better than thou.
29 And also the Overcomer of Israel will not lie nor repent concerning this, for he is not a man, that he should repent.
30 Then he said, I have sinned; yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people and before Israel and turn again with me that I may worship the Lord thy God.
31 So Samuel turned again after Saul, and Saul worshipped the Lord.
32 Then Samuel said, Bring me Agag, the king of Amalek. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is near.
33 And Samuel said, As thy sword has made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. Then Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah of Saul.
