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.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 15 of 1 Samuel. Saul confesses his sin, but his concern remains tied to his reputation before the elders and the people. Samuel maintains the judgment against the kingdom and finally executes Agag. He then separates from Saul and mourns for him. The rupture between them is not merely personal: it represents the loss of prophetic support for Israel’s first king. The chapter ends by preparing the search for a new king whose relationship with God will be described differently.

Da sprach Saul zu Samuel: Ich habe gesündigt, daß ich des HERRN Befehl und deine Worte übertreten habe; denn ich fürchtete das Volk und gehorchte ihrer Stimme.
Entonces Saúl dijo a Samuel: Yo he pecado; que he quebrantado el dicho de Jehová y tus palabras, porque temí al pueblo, consentí a la voz de ellos. Perdona pues ahora mi pecado,
Saúl le dijo a Samuel: «He pecado, pues he desobedecido el mandato de Jehová y tus palabras, porque tuve miedo del pueblo y obedecí su voz.
Alors Saül dit à Samuel: J'ai péché, car j'ai transgressé l'ordre de l'Eternel, et je n'ai pas obéi à tes paroles; je craignais le peuple, et j'ai écouté sa voix.
Allora Saulle disse a Samuele: Io ho peccato; conciossiachè io abbia trasgredito il comandamento del Signore, e le tue parole; perciocchè io temeva del popolo, onde io acconsentii a ciò ch’egli disse.
Então disse Saul a Samuel: Pequei, porquanto tenho transgredido a ordem do SENHOR e as tuas palavras; porque temi ao povo, e dei ouvidos à sua voz.
