1 Samuel 15:19-23
19So why did you not obey the LORD? Why did you rush upon the plunder and do evil in the sight of the LORD?”
20“But I did obey the LORD,” Saul replied. “I went on the mission that the LORD gave me. I brought back Agag king of Amalek and devoted the Amalekites to destruction. 21The troops took sheep and cattle from the plunder, the best of the things devoted to destruction, in order to sacrifice them to the LORD your God at Gilgal.”
22But Samuel declared:
“Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrificesas much as in obedience to His voice?Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice,and attentiveness is better than the fat of rams.23For rebellion is like the sin of divination,and arrogance is like the wickedness of idolatry.Because you have rejected the word of the LORD,He has rejected you as king.”
