1 Samuel 15:30 Context
28And Samuel said vnto him, The Lord hath rent the kingdome of Israel from thee this day, and hath giuen it to a neighbour of thine, that is better then thou. 29And also the strength of Israel will not lie, nor repent: for he is not a man that he should repent. 30Then he said, I haue sinned; yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the Elders of my people, and before Israel, and turne againe with me, that I may worship the Lord thy God. 31So Samuel turned againe after Saul, and Saul worshipped the Lord. 32¶ Then said Samuel, Bring you hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites: and Agag came vnto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitternesse of death is past.
