1 Samuel 15:21-25
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.”
24Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; I have transgressed the LORD’s commandment and your instructions, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice. 25Now therefore, please forgive my sin and return with me so I can worship the LORD.”
