Saul said, ‘I have sinned. Please honour me now before the elders of my people and before Israel. Come back with me so I can bow in worship to the Lord your God.’
Samuel replied to Saul, ‘I will not return with you. Because you rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel.’
Then David got up from the ground. He washed, anointed himself, changed his clothes, went to the Lord’s house, and worshipped. Then he went home and requested something to eat. So they served him food, and he ate.
