23 For as the sin of witchcraft is rebellion, and iniquity and teraphim is stubbornness, because you have rejected the word of YHWH, so He has rejected you as king.” 24 And Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of YHWH, and your words, because I feared the people and I listened to their voice. 25 And now, please, lift up my sin and return with me, that I may worship YHWH.” 26 And Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you, for you have rejected the word of YHWH, and YHWH has rejected you from being king over Israel.” 27 And Samuel turned around to go away, and he laid hold of the edge of his robe, and it tore. 28 And Samuel said to him, “YHWH has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and He has given it to your neighbor who is better than you. 1 Samuel 15:23-28, Berean Literal Bible.
