1 Samuel 15:10-22

10Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to SamuelH8050, sayingH559, 11“1I regretH5162 that I have madeH4427 SaulH7586 kingH4428, for 2he has turnedH7725 backH7725 from 3followingH310 Me and has not carriedH6965 out My commandsH1697.” And SamuelH8050 was distressedH2734 and 4criedH2199 out to the LordH3068 allH3605 nightH3915. 12SamuelH8050 roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 to meetH7122 SaulH7586; and it was toldH5046 SamuelH8050, sayingH559, “SaulH7586 cameH935 to 5CarmelH3760, and beholdH2009, he setH5324 up a monumentH3027 for himself, then turnedH5437 and proceededH5674 on 6downH3381 to 7GilgalH1537.” 13SamuelH8050 cameH935 to SaulH7586, and SaulH7586 saidH559 to him, “8BlessedH1288 are you of the LordH3068! I have carriedH6965 out the commandH1697 of the LordH3068.” 14But SamuelH8050 saidH559, “9WhatH4100 then is thisH2088 10bleatingH6963 of the sheepH6629 in my earsH241, and the 11lowingH6963 of the oxenH1241 whichH834 I hearH8085?” 15SaulH7586 saidH559, “They have broughtH935 them from the AmalekitesH6003, for 12the peopleH5971 sparedH2550 the bestH4315 of the sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, to sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068 your GodH430; but the restH3498 we have utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763.” 16Then SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “WaitH7503, and let me tellH5046 you whatH834 the LordH3068 saidH1696 to me last nightH3915.” And he saidH559 to him, “SpeakH1696!”

17SamuelH8050 saidH559, “Is it not true, 13thoughH518 you were littleH6996 in your own eyesH5869, you were made the headH7218 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478? And the LordH3068 anointedH4886 you kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478, 18and the LordH3068 sentH7971 you on a 14missionH1870, and saidH559, ‘15GoH1980 and utterlyH2763 destroyH2763 the sinnersH2400, the AmalekitesH6002, and fightH3898 against them untilH5704 they are exterminatedH3615.’ 19WhyH4100 then did you not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068, 16but rushedH5860 upon the spoilH7998 and didH6213 whatH7451 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068?”

20Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, “17I did obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068, and wentH1980 on the 18missionH1870 on whichH834 the LordH3068 sentH7971 me, and have broughtH935 back AgagH90 the kingH4428 of AmalekH6002, and have utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 the AmalekitesH6002. 21But 19the peopleH5971 tookH3947 some of the spoilH7998, sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, the choicestH7225 of the thingsH2764 devotedH2764 to destructionH2764, to sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068 your GodH430 at GilgalH1537.” 22SamuelH8050 saidH559, “20Has the LordH3068 as much delightH2656 in burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077 As in obeyingH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068? BeholdH2009, 21to obeyH8085 is betterH2896 thanH4480 sacrificeH2077, And to heedH7181 thanH4480 the fatH2459 of ramsH352.
