Saul’s Disobedience and Rejection

1 Samuel 13:8-14

And he waited seven days, according to the appointment of Samuel, and Samuel came not to Galgal, and the people slipt away from him.

Then Saul said: Bring me the holocaust, and the peace offerings. And he offered the holocaust.

And when he had made an end of offering the holocaust, behold Samuel came: and Saul went forth to meet him and salute him.

And Samuel said to him: What hast thou done? Saul answered: Because I saw that the people slipt from me, and thou wast not come according to the days appointed, and the Philistines were gathered together in Machmas,

I said: Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Galgal, and I have not appeased the face of the Lord. Forced by necessity, I offered the holocaust.

And Samuel said to Saul: Thou hast done foolishly, and hast not kept the commandments of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee. And if thou hadst not done thus, the Lord would now have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever:

But thy kingdom shall not continue. The Lord hath sought him a man according to his own heart: and him hath the Lord commanded to be prince over his people, because thou hast not observed that which the Lord commanded.
