1 Sam. 15:10      1 Sam. 15:12

First Samuel 15:11

"I regret (mourn-comfort – Hebr. nacham) that I have made Saul king, for he has turned away (turned away) from following me and my word, he has not fulfilled the commands." And Samuel was grieved, and he cried out to the Lord (Yahweh) all night. [Hebr. nacham in verses 11, 29, and 35 is sometimes translated as "regret," but the word means both to feel sorrow and to comfort, as well as the actual "change" in the process of moving from sorrow to giving comfort. The name of the prophet Nahum, which means comfort, has the same Hebrew root (nhm), see also Nah. 3:7; Ps. 23:4; 71:21. God feels sorrow that Saul fell into sin, but now begins the process of comforting and giving a new king. In verse 29, it is precisely the "human aspect" of changing one's mind that is emphasized—no, that is not how God is!]
