1 SAMUEL CHAPTER 15
Samuel sendeth Saul to destroy the Amalekites: his army, 1Sa_15:1-5. He favoureth the Kenites; spareth Agag, and the best of the spoil: God rejects Saul from being king, 1Sa_15:6-11. This Samuel declares to Saul; he commendeth, excuseth, at last humbleth himself, 1Sa_15:12:25. Samuel is unmoved herewith; his mantle rent is a sign to Saul of his ruin: God cannot lie, 1Sa_15:26-29. Samuel killeth Agag; goeth from Saul, and mourneth for him, 1Sa_15:30-35.
The Lord made thee king, and therefore thou art highly obliged to serve and obey him. Thou hast committed one error already, for which God hath severely rebuked and threatened; now therefore make amends for thy former error, and regain God’s favour by thy exact obedience to what he now commands.
