I Samuel 15:29

Response
God has always had the same rule: blessing for obedience, discipline for disobedience. God changes from blessing to discipline based on man’s decisions. By analogy, a fair judge gives each case consideration before making judgment. We would not expect a fair judge to give the same ruling for every case.
