And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent — Samuel affirms God's steadfastness ('netzach, strength or eternity'). God 'will not lie' ('lo yeshaqer) or 'repent' ('lo yinnahem). This verse clarifies that while God's attitude toward Saul has changed, God's character and truthfulness are absolute.
