1 Samuel15:31
31 So Samuel turned again after Saul , and Saul worshipped the LORD.
Not to Worship the Lord with him, for that he did not; and therefore it is here mentioned that Saul onely Worshipped the Lord: but for two other reasons; First, That the People might not upon pretence of this Sentence of rejection, immediately withdraw all Respect and Obedience to their Sovereign; whereby they would both have sinned against God, and have been as Sheep without a Shepherd. Secondly, That he might rectify Saul's Error, and execute Gods Judgment upon Agag.
