1 Samuel 15:25 Context
23For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubburnnesse is as iniquitie and idolatrie: because thou hast reiected the word of the Lord, he hath also reiected thee from being king. 24¶ And Saul said vnto Samuel, I haue sinned: for I haue transgressed the Commandement of the Lord, and thy wordes; because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. 25Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sinne, and turne againe with me, that I may worship the Lord. 26And Samuel said vnto Saul, I will not returne with thee: for thou hast reiected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath reiected thee from being king ouer Israel. 27And as Samuel turned about to goe away, he laid hold vpon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Samuel 15:25
15:25 Pardon my sin - Neither can it be proved that there was any hypocrisy in this. Rather charity requires us to believe, that he sincerely desired pardon, both from God and man, as he now knew, he had sinned against both.
