Contextual Overview

²⁴ Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned. I didn't obey the Lord 's commands and your words. I was afraid of the people, and I did what they said. ²⁵ Now, I beg you, forgive my sin. Come back with me so I may worship the Lord ." ²⁶ But Samuel said to Saul, "I won't go back with you. You rejected the Lord 's command, and now he rejects you as king of Israel." ²⁷ As Samuel turned to leave, Saul caught his robe, and it tore. ²⁸ Samuel said to him, "The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors who is better than you. ²⁹ The Lord is the Eternal One of Israel. He does not lie or change his mind. He is not a human being, so he does not change his mind." ³⁰ Saul answered, "I have sinned. But please honor me in front of the elders of my people and in front of the Israelites. Come back with me so that I can worship the Lord your God." ³¹ So Samuel went back with Saul, and Saul worshiped the Lord .

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then he said, I have sinned,.... So he had said before, 1 Samuel 15:24 but his confession there was attended with an extenuation of his sin, pleading in excuse of it that it was through fear of the people, but here it is without any; and yet by what follows it appears to be not ingenuous and sincere, but hypocritical:

yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel; with his company; since should he be slighted openly by the Lord, and by his prophet, he would fall into contempt both with the principal men, and with the common people; wherefore he seemed more concerned for the loss of honour and reputation with the people, than for his sin against God, which is always the case of hypocrites:

and turn again with me, and worship the Lord thy God;

1 Samuel 15:24- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The pertinacity with which Saul clings to Samuel for support is a striking testimony to Samuel’s integrity. With all his worldly-mindedness Saul could perceive and appreciate the purity of Samuel’s character as a man of God.

The Lord thy God - As above, 1 Samuel 15:15.
