Contextual Overview

²⁴Saul answered Samuel, “I have sinned. I have transgressed the Lord’s command and your words. Because I was afraid of the people, I obeyed them. ²⁵Now therefore, please forgive my sin and return with me so I can worship the Lord.” ²⁶Samuel replied to Saul, “I will not return with you. Because you rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel.” ²⁷When Samuel turned to go, Saul grabbed the corner of his robe, and it tore. ²⁸Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingship of Israel away from you today and has given it to your neighbor who is better than you. ²⁹Furthermore, the Eternal One of Israel does not lie or change his mind, for he is not man who changes his mind.” ³⁰Saul said, “I have sinned. Please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel. Come back with me so I can bow in worship to the Lord your God.” ³¹Then Samuel went back, following Saul, and Saul bowed down to the Lord.

Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 15:26 - I will not

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So Samuel turned again after Saul,.... Though he before said he would not, 1 Samuel 15:26 yet he did, changing his mind, as he might without being chargeable with a lie; and he also might have an impulse from the Lord so to do, and which he did not in order to worship with Saul, which it does not appear he did, but rather the contrary; but that Saul might not be despised by the people, and his authority lessened, while he continued king; and that he might do what Saul had neglected to do, destroy Agag: and Saul worshipped the Lord; alone, by offering sacrifice to him.
