1 Samuel 15:23-25
Evangelical Heritage Version
1 Samuel 15:23-25
Evangelical Heritage Version
23 For rebellion is the same as the sin of witchcraft, and arrogance is like having useless idols or consulting household gods. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has also rejected you as king.”
24 Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I have transgressed against the command[a] of the Lord, as well as against your words, because I was afraid of the people, so I listened to their voice. 25 But now, please pardon my sin and come back with me again, so that I may worship the Lord.”
