13 And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. ^hYou have not kept the command of the Lord your God, with which he commanded you. For then the Lord would have ⁱestablished your kingdom over Israel forever. 14 ^jBut now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought out a man after his own heart, and ^kthe Lord has commanded him to be prince¹ over his people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”

28 And Samuel said to him, “The Lord has ^mtorn the kingdom of Israel from you this day and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you.
