Textually established
The narrator reports Samuel saying that the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent.
Not established by grammar alone
The text establishes that Samuel is reported as saying this. Whether the statement is offered as a general truth about God or as a specific assurance to Saul is an interpretive question.
Speaker attribution matters here: verse 11 is reported divine speech and verse 29 is reported prophetic speech. A reader comparing the two is comparing statements at the same quotation level but from different speakers.
This is a literary distinction between narration and independently established occurrence. It is not an argument that the reported event did not occur, and not an argument that it did.
