1 Samuel 15:27 in Context — 1 Samuel 15

25 Maintenant, je te prie, pardonne mon péché, reviens avec moi, et je me prosternerai devant l’Éternel.

26 Samuel dit à Saül: Je ne retournerai point avec toi; car tu as rejeté la parole de l’Éternel, et l’Éternel te rejette, afin que tu ne sois plus roi sur Israël.

27 Et comme Samuel se tournait pour s’en aller, Saül le saisit par le pan de son manteau, qui se déchira.

28 Samuel lui dit: L’Éternel déchire aujourd’hui de dessus toi la royauté d’Israël, et il la donne à un autre, qui est meilleur que toi.

29 Celui qui est la force d’Israël ne ment point et ne se repent point, car il n’est pas un homme pour se repentir.
