And Samuel said unto him, Yahweh hath rent the kingdom of Israel from off thee, to-day,—and will give it unto a neighbour of thine, who is better than thou.
Of the increase of dominion, and of prosperity, There shall be no end—Upon the throne of David and Upon his kingdom, By establishing it and By sustaining it, With justice and With righteousness,—From henceforth, Even unto times age-abiding: The jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform this!
Howbeit, all the kingdom, will I not rend away, one tribe, will I give unto thy son,—for the sake of David my servant, and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.
I, will become his father, And, he, shall become my son: If he commit iniquity, then will I correct him, with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men;
Incline your ear, and come unto me, Hearken, That your soul, may live,—That I may solemnise for you a covenant age-abiding, The Lovingkindness to David, well-assured.

And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not turn again with thee,—Because thou hast rejected the word of Yahweh, therefore hath Yahweh rejected thee from being king over Israel.
