1 Samuel 15:23-25

World English Bible

²³ For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim.^[a] Because you have rejected Yahweh’s word, he has also rejected you from being king.”

²⁴ Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Yahweh and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice. ²⁵ Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Yahweh.”
