1 Samuel 15:26

26 —No voy a regresar contigo —le respondió Samuel—. Tú has rechazado la palabra del SEÑOR, y él te ha rechazado como rey de Israel.

1 Samuel 15:26 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 15:26

And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee
Not being satisfied with his repentance and confession, he still extenuating his sin, and laying the blame of it on the people. This he said by way of resentment, and as expressing his indignation at him, though he afterwards did return with him on a change of his mind; which a good man may be allowed to make, without any imputation of falsehood or a lie unto him:

for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected
thee from being king over Israel;
which is repeated from ( 1 Samuel 15:23 ) for the confirmation of it, and to let Saul know that his pretended confession and repentance had made no alteration in the decree and sentence of God respecting the kingdom.

1 Samuel 15:26 In-Context

24 —¡He pecado! —admitió Saúl—. He quebrantado el mandato del SEÑOR y tus instrucciones. Los soldados me intimidaron y les hice caso.

25 Pero te ruego que perdones mi pecado, y que regreses conmigo para adorar al SEÑOR.

26 —No voy a regresar contigo —le respondió Samuel—. Tú has rechazado la palabra del SEÑOR, y él te ha rechazado como rey de Israel.

27 Cuando Samuel se dio vuelta para irse, Saúl le agarró el borde del manto, y se lo arrancó.

28 Entonces Samuel le dijo:—Hoy mismo el SEÑOR ha arrancado de tus manos el reino de Israel, y se lo ha entregado a otro más digno que tú.
