1 Samuel 15:26-28

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁶ But Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you. For you have cast away the Word of the LORD, and the LORD has cast away you, so that you shall not be king over Israel.”

²⁷ And as Samuel turned himself to go away, he caught the lap of his coat, and it tore.

²⁸ Then Samuel said to him, “The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to your neighbor who is better than you.
