1 Samuel 15:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ “I am sorry that I appointed Saul as king, for he has turned away from me by not observing my commandments.” Samuel was disturbed, and he cried out to the Lord all that night. ¹² Early in the morning, Samuel went out to meet Saul. Samuel was told, “Saul has gone to Carmel. He set up a monument there for himself, so he turned around and traveled on, going down to Gilgal.”^[a]

¹³ Samuel went to Saul, and Saul said to him, “May you be blessed. I have fulfilled the command of the Lord.”
