“Therefore, this is the declaration of the Lord, the God of Israel:

‘Although I said
your family and your ancestral house
would walk before Me forever,
the Lord now says, “No longer!”
I will honor those who honor Me,
but those who despise Me will be disgraced.

Therefore, I have sworn to Eli’s family: The iniquity of Eli’s family will never be wiped out by either sacrifice or offering.”

They said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not follow your example. Therefore, appoint a king to judge us the same as all the other nations have.”

But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your troubles and afflictions. You said to Him, ‘You must set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and clans.”

“Now, therefore, present yourselves and see this great thing that the Lord will do before your eyes.

Now therefore, please forgive my sin and return with me so I can worship the Lord.”

Therefore, Saul reassigned David and made him commander over 1,000 men. David led the troops

Saul then ordered his servants, “Speak to David in private and tell him, ‘Look, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. Therefore, you should become the king’s son-in-law.’”

So Saul broke off his pursuit of David and went to engage the Philistines. Therefore, that place was named the Rock of Separation.

Therefore swear to me by the Lord that you will not cut off my descendants or wipe out my name from my father’s family.”

You did not obey the Lord and did not carry out His burning anger against Amalek; therefore the Lord has done this to you today.
