1 Samuel 15:21-25
21The troopsH5971 tookH3947 sheepH6629 and cattleH1241 from the plunderH7998, the best ofH7225 the things devoted to destructionH2764, in order to sacrificeH2076 them to the LORDH3068 your GodH430 at GilgalH1537.”
22But SamuelH8050 declaredH559:
“Does the LORDH3068 delightH2656 in burnt offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077as much as in obedienceH8085 to His voiceH6963H3068?BeholdH2009, obedienceH8085 is betterH2896 than sacrificeH2077,and attentivenessH7181 is better than the fatH2459 of ramsH352.23ForH3588 rebellionH4805 is like the sinH2403 of divinationH7081,and arroganceH6484 is like the wickednessH205 of idolatryH8655.BecauseH3282 you have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068,He has rejected youH3988 as kingH4428.”
24Then SaulH7586 saidH559 toH413 SamuelH8050, “I have sinnedH2398; I have transgressedH5674 the LORD’sH3068 commandmentH6310 and your instructionsH1697, becauseH3588 I fearedH3372 the peopleH5971 and obeyedH8085 their voiceH6963. 25Now thereforeH6258, pleaseH4994 forgiveH5375 my sinH2403 and returnH7725 with meH5973 so I can worshipH7812 the LORDH3068.”
