וְלָא אוֹסִיף שְׁמוּאֵל לְמֶחֱזֵי יַת שָׁאוּל עַד יוֹם מוֹתֵיהּ אֲרֵי אִתְאַבֵּל שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל שָׁאוּל וַיָי תַּב בְּמֵימְרֵיהּ אֲרֵי אַמְלִיךְ יַת שָׁאוּל עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל:

**The Targum of Samuel; trans. E. van Staalduine-Sulman. Leiden: Brill, 2002:**
And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, for Samuel grieved over Saul. And the LORD turned back in his speech that he had made Saul king over Israel.
