“It pleases Yahweh more when people do what he tells them to do
than when they completely burn animals as sacrifices to him and offer him other kinds of sacrifices.
It is much better to obey Yahweh than to offer sacrifices to him.
It is better to pay attention to what he says and do it than to burn the fat of rams as a sacrifice to him.
23 To rebel against God is as sinful as doing sorcery,
and stubbornly resisting his correction is as sinful as worshiping idols.
You have disobeyed what Yahweh told you to do,
and as a result, he has decided that you will no longer be king.”
24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I admit that I have sinned. I disobeyed what you told me Yahweh had commanded. I did that because I was afraid of what the soldiers would do to me if I did not give them what they wanted. 25 But please forgive me for sinning. Come back with me and sacrifice some of these animals yourself so that I can worship Yahweh.” 26 But Samuel replied, “No, I will not go back with you. You have chosen to disobey what Yahweh commanded you to do. So he has decided that you will no longer be the king of Israel. 27 Then Samuel turned to leave, Saul tried to stop him by grabbing the edge of his robe, and when he did that, he tore off a piece of it. 28 Samuel said to him, “You have taken this piece away from my robe, and in the same way, Yahweh has now taken the kingship of Israel away from you. He is going to make another Israelite king instead of you. That other Israelite is a better man than you are. 29 You can be sure of this because when the glorious God whom the Israelite people worship says something, he means it and he will not change his mind about it. Humans sometimes change their minds, but God does not do that, because he is not a human.” 30 Then Saul pleaded with Samuel further. He said, “I admit that I have sinned. But please honor me in front of the Israelite leaders and people by coming with me so that I can worship Yahweh your God.” 31 So Samuel finally agreed to do that. They went together back to where the people were, and Saul worshiped Yahweh there. 32 Then Samuel said, “Bring the Amalekite king Agag to me.” So they brought Agag to him. They had tied him up as a prisoner. Agag was thinking, “Now that Samuel is here, I am sure that the Israelites are not going to execute me painfully.” 33 But Samuel said to him,
“You have led armies that have killed the sons of many women with their swords.
So now your mother will no longer have a son as other women do.”
Then Samuel chopped Agag into pieces with his sword. He did that at Gilgal, where the Israelites worshiped Yahweh. 34 Then Samuel left there and returned to his home in Ramah, and Saul went to his home in Gibeah. 35 Samuel never saw Saul again for as long as he lived. He remained very sad that Saul had not been a good king. And Yahweh regretted that he had appointed Saul to be the king of Israel. 200 ,000 soldiers; 10,000 of them were from Judah, and the others were from the other Israelite tribes.
