## 1 Samuel 15:27-29 in Context (Verses 24–32 KJV)
 
 [24 ](/kjv/1-samuel/15/24) ¶ And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/1-samuel/15/25) Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/1-samuel/15/26) And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/1-samuel/15/27) And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/1-samuel/15/28) And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, *that is* better than thou.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/1-samuel/15/29) And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he *is* not a man, that he should repent.*
 
 [30 ](/kjv/1-samuel/15/30) Then he said, I have sinned: *yet* honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/1-samuel/15/31) So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/1-samuel/15/32) ¶ Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
