15:11 God chose Saul to be Israel’s king (9:15-16), then according to this verse regretted his action, and afterward chose David in his place (15:28; 16:12). Yet the Prophet Samuel told Saul that God does not change his mind (15:29). While this may appear contradictory, Scripture elsewhere supports Samuel’s statement (Ps 15:4; Mal 3:6; Jms 1:17). God’s will and purpose remain the same, but the free response of people to his commands may lead to a modification of his actions on the human scene (Jr 18:8; Ezk 18:24; Jnh 3:10). At least from the human perspective, his relationships with people are authentic and personal, not pre-programmed.
