If ye will fear the LORD , and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD , then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:
But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD , but rebel against the commandment of the LORD , then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD : I have performed the commandment of the LORD .
And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD , and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
