16. Samuel said, "Why then do you ask me, since the Lord has departed from you and has become your adversary?
17. The Lord has done accordingly as He spoke through me; for the Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, to David.
18. As you did not obey the Lord and did not execute His fierce wrath on Amalek, so the Lord has done this thing to you this day.
