1 Samuel 15:28-30

New Catholic Bible

²⁸ Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn away the kingdom of Israel from you today. He has given it to one of your neighbors, someone who is better than you. ²⁹ He who is the strength of Israel does not lie nor does he repent, for he is not a man that he should change his mind.”

³⁰ He said, “I have sinned. Please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel. Come back with me so that I might worship the Lord, your God.”
