And Samuel never saw Saul again till the day of his death; but Samuel was sorrowing for Saul: and it was no longer the Lord's pleasure for Saul to be king over Israel.

Now when they came, looking at Eliab, he said, Clearly the man of the Lord's selection is before him.

And gave him the news of how Saul had put to death the Lord's priests.
