Reading from 1 Samuel Chapter 15
God is called the Hope of Israel.
The prophet Samuel, in his prophecy about the downfall of King Saul after Saul had sinned by taking the spoils of the best livestock from his conquest of the Amalekites, referred to God as the Hope of Israel, describing God as One who is not like Man, who should repent.
1 Samuel 15:27 - 29 JND
27 And as Samuel turned to go away, Saul laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
28 Then Samuel said to him, Jehovah has rent the kingdom of Israel from thee to-day, and has given it to thy neighbour, who is better than thou.
29 And also the Hope of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.
