26 But Samuel said to Saul: “I shall not return with you, for you have rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah rejects you from continuing as king over Israel.”+
35 And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, because Samuel had gone into mourning+ for Saul. As for Jehovah, he regretted that he had made Saul king over Israel.+
8 and that nation actually turns back from its badness against which I spoke,+ I will also feel regret over the calamity that I had thought to execute upon it.+
