1 Samuel 15:21-25

21But the peopleH5971 tookH3947 of the spoilH7998, sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrificeH2076 unto Jehovah thy GodH430 in GilgalH1537. 22And SamuelH8050 saidH559, Hath Jehovah as great delightH2656 in burnt-offerings and sacrificesH2077, as in obeying the voiceH6963 of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is betterH2896 than sacrificeH2077, and to hearken than the fatH2459 of ramsH352. 23For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphimH8655. Because thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428.

24And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, I have sinnedH2398; for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and thy wordsH1697, because I fearedH3372 the peopleH5971, and obeyed their voiceH6963. 25NowH6258 thereforeH6258, I pray thee, pardon my sinH2403, and turnH7725 again with me, that I may worship Jehovah.
