Exegesis
The infinitive construct lir’ot {לִרְא֤וֹת | li-rᵊ-ʾōṯ} ‘to see’ takes the objective marker et {אֶת־ | ʾet} before the accusative (Shaul {שָׁאוּל | šāʾūl}).
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.
