1 Samuel 15:25
Pardon my sin - Literally, bear my sin; take it away; forgive what I have done against thee, and be my intercessor with God, that he may forgive my offense against him; turn again with me, that I may worship the Lord.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of1 witchcraft,
And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,
aHe also has rejected you from being king.”
And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,
aHe also has rejected you from being king.”
24 aThen Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord and your words, because I bfeared the people and obeyed their voice.
25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may worship the Lord.”
26 But Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you, afor you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel.”
27 And as Samuel turned around to go away, aSaul seized the edge of his robe, and it tore.
