but my lovingkindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

But My loving devotion will never be removed from him as I removed it from Saul, whom I moved out of your way.

and My kindness doth not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before thee,

but my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before thee.
