Notes
does not lie or change His mind: Samuel spoke about God's promise to make David king and protect his family line. God had rejected Saul, but he would never reject David (see 2 Samuel 7:8–17).
Saul admitted his wrongdoing, but it was too late and he still made excuses.
After Saul disobeyed God by not completely destroying the Amalekites, God rejected him more strongly than before (see 1 Samuel 13:8–14).
