1 Samuel 15:26-28

Living Bible

²⁶ But Samuel replied, “It’s no use! Since you have rejected the commandment of the Lord, he has rejected you from being the king of Israel.”

²⁷ As Samuel turned to go, Saul grabbed at him to try to hold him back and tore his robe.

²⁸ And Samuel said to him, “See? The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to a countryman of yours who is better than you are.
