26 And Shemu El says to Shaul, I return not with you: for you refused the word of Yah Veh and Yah Veh refuses you from being sovereign over Yisra El.
27 And as Shemu El turns about to go away, he holds the border of his mantle - and it rips.
28 And Shemu El says to him, Yah Veh rips the sovereigndom of Yisra El from you this day; and gives it to your friend - better than you:
29 and also, the Perpetuity of Yisra El neither falsifies nor sighs: for he is no human, that he sighs.
30 Then he says, I sinned! Honor me now, I beseech you, in front of the elders of my people and in front of Yisra El and turn back with me, to prostrate to Yah Veh your Elohim.
31 - and Shemu El turns back after Shaul; and Shaul prostrates to Yah Veh.
