1 Samuel 15:17-23

17SamuelH8050 saidH559, “Is it not true, 1thoughH518 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 2missionH1870, and saidH559, ‘3GoH1980 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, 4but rushedH5860 upon the spoilH7998 and didH6213 whatH7451 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068?”

20Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, “5I did obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068, and wentH1980 on the 6missionH1870 on whichH834 the LordH3068 sentH7971 me, and have broughtH935 back AgagH90 the kingH4428 of AmalekH6002, and have utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 the AmalekitesH6002. 21But 7the 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, “8Has the LordH3068 as much delightH2656 in burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077 As in obeyingH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068? BeholdH2009, 9to obeyH8085 is betterH2896 thanH4480 sacrificeH2077, And to heedH7181 thanH4480 the fatH2459 of ramsH352.23For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of 10divinationH7081, And insubordinationH6484 is as 11iniquityH205 and idolatryH8655. BecauseH3282 you have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, 12He has also rejectedH3988 you from being kingH4428.”
