And he who is the Glory of Israel will not lie, nor will he change his mind, for he is not human that he should change his mind!”

As Samuel turned around to go, he caught hold of the hem of his robe, and it tore.

Moreover, the Glory of Israel will not break faith and will not regret, for he is not a human that he should regret.”

KJV 1900King James Version

And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. And Samuel said unto him, The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou. And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
