1 Samuel 15:28 in Context — 1 Samuel 15

26 E Samuel respondeu a Saul: Não voltarei contigo; porque rejeitaste a palavra do SENHOR, e o SENHOR te rejeitou para que não sejas rei sobre Israel.

27 E voltando-se Samuel para ir-se, ele lançou mão da orla de sua capa, e rasgou-se.

28 Então Samuel lhe disse: o SENHOR rasgou hoje de ti o reino de Israel, e o deu a teu próximo melhor que tu.

29 E também o Poderoso de Israel não mentirá, nem se arrependerá: porque não é homem para que se arrependa.

30 E ele disse: Eu pequei: mas rogo-te que me honres diante dos anciãos de meu povo, e diante de Israel; e volta comigo para que adore ao SENHOR teu Deus.
