1 Samuel 15:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ “I am sorry I made Saul king, because he has stopped following me and has not obeyed my commands.” Samuel was upset, and he cried out to the Lord all night long.

¹² Early the next morning Samuel got up and went to meet Saul. But the people told Samuel, “Saul has gone to Carmel, where he has put up a monument in his own honor. Now he has gone down to Gilgal.”

¹³ When Samuel came to Saul, Saul said, “May the Lord bless you! I have obeyed the Lord’s commands.”
