The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.

But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.

And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.

And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.

And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.

Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand.
