23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance is like the wickedness of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD {YHWH}, He has rejected you as king.” 24 Then Saul (desired) said to Samuel (his name is El), “I have sinned; I have transgressed the LORD’s {YHWH} commandment and your instructions, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice. 25 Now therefore, please forgive my sin and return with me so I can worship the LORD {YHWH}.” 26 “I will not return with you,” Samuel (his name is El) replied (desired). “For you have rejected the word of the LORD {YHWH}, and He has rejected you as king over Israel (he wrestles with God).” 27 As Samuel (his name is El) turned to go, Saul grabbed the hem of his robe, and it tore. 28 So Samuel (his name is El) said to him, “The LORD {YHWH} has torn the kingdom of Israel (he wrestles with God) from you today and has given it to your neighbor who is better than you. 1 Samuel 15:23-28, Berean Annotated Bible.
