¹⁴ Then the Lord relented^(A) and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.

³⁵ Until the day Samuel^(A) died, he did not go to see Saul again, though Samuel mourned^(B) for him. And the Lord regretted^(C) that he had made Saul king over Israel.

¹⁶ When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the Lord relented^(A) concerning the disaster and said to the angel who was afflicting the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand.” The angel of the Lord^(B) was then at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
