10 Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying
11 'It displeases me that I have appointed Saul as king. For he has forsaken me, and he has not fulfilled the work of my words.' And Samuel was greatly saddened, and he cried out to the Lord, all night long
12 And when Samuel had risen while it was still dark, so that he might go to Saul in the morning, it was reported to Samuel that Saul had arrived at Carmel, and that he had erected for himself a triumphant arch. And, while returning, he had continued on and descended to Gilgal. Therefore, Samuel went to Saul. And Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord, from the best of the spoils, which he had brought from Amalek.
13 And when Samuel had gone to Saul, Saul said to him: 'You are the blessed of the Lord. I have fulfilled the word of the Lord.'
14 And Samuel said, 'Then what is this voice of the flocks, which resounds in my ears, and of the herds, which I am hearing?'
