1 Samuel 13:13-15
GOD’S WORD Translation
13 “You did a foolish thing,” Samuel told Saul. “You didn’t follow the command of the Lord your God. ⌞If you had,⌟ the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel permanently. 14 But now your kingdom will not last. The Lord has searched for a man after his own heart. The Lord has appointed him as ruler of his people, because you didn’t follow the command of the Lord.”
15 Samuel left Gilgal. The rest of the people followed Saul to meet the soldiers. They went from Gilgal [a] to Gibeah in Benjamin, where Saul counted the troops who were still with him—about 600 men.
