1 Samuel 15:23-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
23
For rebellion is
as reprehensible as
the sin of divination,
And insubordination is
as reprehensible as
false religion and idolatry.
Since you have rejected the word of the
Lord
,
He has also rejected you from
being
king.'
24
Then Saul said to Samuel, 'I have sinned, for I have violated the command of the
Lord
and your words, because I feared the people and listened to their voice.
25
Now then, please pardon my sin and return with me, so that I may worship the
Lord
.'
26
But Samuel said to Saul, 'I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of the
Lord
, and the
Lord
has rejected you from being king over Israel.'
27
Then Samuel turned to go, but
Saul
grasped the edge of his robe, and it tore off.
28
So Samuel said to him, 'The
Lord
has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbor, who is better than you.
29
Also the Glory of Israel will not lie nor change His mind; for He is not a man, that He would change His mind.'
30
Then
Saul
said, 'I have sinned;
but
please honor me now before the elders of my people and before
all
Israel, and go back with me, so that I may worship the
Lord
your God.'
King James Version
Chapter 15
23
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the
Lord
, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
24
And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the
Lord
, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
25
Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the
Lord
.
26
And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the
Lord
, and the
Lord
hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
27
And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
28
And Samuel said unto him, The
Lord
hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.
29
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: 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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 15
23
For rebellion is like the sin of divination,
and defiance is like wickedness and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the
Lord
,
he has rejected you as king.
24
Saul answered Samuel, "I have sinned. I have transgressed the
Lord
’s command and your words. Because I was afraid of the people, I obeyed them.
25
Now therefore, please forgive my sin and return with me so I can worship the
Lord
."
26
Samuel replied to Saul, "I will not return with you. Because you rejected the word of the
Lord
, the
Lord
has rejected you from being king over Israel."
27
When Samuel turned to go, Saul grabbed the corner of his robe, and it tore.
28
Samuel said to him, "The
Lord
has torn the kingship of Israel away from you today and has given it to your neighbor who is better than you.
29
Furthermore, the Eternal One of Israel does not lie or change his mind, for he is not man who changes his mind."
30
Saul said, "I have sinned. Please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel. Come back with me so I can bow in worship to the
Lord
your God."
New Living Translation
Chapter 15
23
Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft,
and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols.
So because you have rejected the command of the
Lord
,
he has rejected you as king.'
24
Then Saul admitted to Samuel, 'Yes, I have sinned. I have disobeyed your instructions and the
Lord
’s command, for I was afraid of the people and did what they demanded.
25
But now, please forgive my sin and come back with me so that I may worship the
Lord
.'
26
But Samuel replied, 'I will not go back with you! Since you have rejected the
Lord
’s command, he has rejected you as king of Israel.'
27
As Samuel turned to go, Saul tried to hold him back and tore the hem of his robe.
28
And Samuel said to him, 'The
Lord
has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to someone else — one who is better than you.
29
And he who is the Glory of Israel will not lie, nor will he change his mind, for he is not human that he should change his mind!'
30
Then Saul pleaded again, 'I know I have sinned. But please, at least honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel by coming back with me so that I may worship the
Lord
your God.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 15
23
For rebellion is as the sin of divination,
and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the
Lord
,
he has also rejected you from being king."
24
Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the
Lord
and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.
25
Now therefore, please pardon my sin and return with me that I may bow before the
Lord
."
26
And Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you. For you have rejected the word of the
Lord
, and the
Lord
has rejected you from being king over Israel."
27
As Samuel turned to go away, Saul seized the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
28
And Samuel said to him, "The
Lord
has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you.
29
And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or have regret, for he is not a man, that he should have regret."
30
Then he said, "I have sinned; yet honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may bow before the
Lord
your God."
New International Version
Chapter 15
23
For rebellion is like the sin of divination,
and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the
Lord
,
he has rejected you as king."
24
Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned. I violated the
Lord
’s command and your instructions. I was afraid of the men and so I gave in to them.
25
Now I beg you, forgive my sin and come back with me, so that I may worship the
Lord
."
26
But Samuel said to him, "I will not go back with you. You have rejected the word of the
Lord
, and the
Lord
has rejected you as king over Israel!"
27
As Samuel turned to leave, Saul caught hold of the hem of his robe, and it tore.
28
Samuel said to him, "The
Lord
has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors—to one better than you.
29
He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind; for he is not a human being, that he should change his mind."
30
Saul replied, "I have sinned. But please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel; come back with me, so that I may worship the
Lord
your God."
