It repenteth me that I have set up Saul {to be} king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.

And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, {Is} Saul also among the prophets? {lay: Heb. fell}

And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.

Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people! {Oh...: Heb. Who will give my head, etc}

And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

{And} lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and {that} I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
