And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David' — Samuel rehearses God's previous judgment ('vayyaʿaś YHWH kᵃdabar-bî'), reminding Saul of the words spoken through him. The kingdom's removal ('vayya'kōr YHWH et-mamloḫtᵊkā miyyādᵊkā') and its gift to David ('vayyittᵊnāh lᵊdāwīd reʾīʿᵊkā') are the settled purpose of God.
