1 Samuel 15:23-25
Holman Christian Standard Bible
23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination,(A)
and defiance is like wickedness(B) and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,
He has rejected you as king.(C)
24 Saul answered Samuel, “I have sinned.(D) I have transgressed the Lord’s command(E) and your words. Because I was afraid of the people, I obeyed them. 25 Now therefore, please forgive my sin(F) and return with me so I can worship the Lord.”

23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination,(A)
and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.
Because you have rejected(B) the word of the Lord,
he has rejected you as king.”
24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned.(C) I violated(D) the Lord’s command and your instructions. I was afraid(E) of the men and so I gave in to them. 25 Now I beg you, forgive(F) my sin and come back with me, so that I may worship the Lord.”
