Exegesis
The preposition al {עַל־ | ʿal} marks the realm of authority (Yisrael {יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | yiśrāʾēl}). The repetition of ki clauses links Samuel’s grief to divine regret.
In context — 1 Samuel 15:35
And Samuel did not continue to see Saul again until the day of his death, for Samuel mourned for Saul. The LORD regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.
