1 Samuel15:11
11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel, and he cried unto the LORD all night .
Repentance properly Notes grief of heart, and change of Counsels, and therefore cannot be in God who is unchangeable, most Wise, and most Blessed; but it is ascribed to God in such cases, when men give God cause to Repent, and when God alters his Course and Method of dealing, and Treats a Person as if he did indeed Repent of all the kindness he had shewed to him.
To implore his Pardoning Mercy for Saul, and for the People; so far was he from rejoycing in their Calamities, as an envious and self-seeking Person would have done.
