28 At this Samuel said to him: “Jehovah has ripped away+ the royal rule of Israel from off you today, and he will certainly give it to a fellowman of yours who is better than you.+
17 And Jehovah will do for himself* just as he spoke by means of me, and Jehovah will rip the kingdom away from your hand+ and give it to your fellowman David.+
23 And these were the numbers of the heads of those equipped for the army that came to David at Heʹbron+ to turn the kingship+ of Saul over to him according to Jehovah’s order.+
