34 Then Samuel left for Ramah,(A) but Saul went up to his home in Gibeah(B) of Saul. 35 Until the day Samuel(C) died, he did not go to see Saul again, though Samuel mourned(D) for him. And the Lord regretted(E) that he had made Saul king over Israel.

Samuel Anoints David

16 The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn(F) for Saul, since I have rejected(G) him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil(H) and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse(I) of Bethlehem. I have chosen(J) one of his sons to be king.”

34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.

35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.

16 And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
