1 Samuel 15:19-23
19WhyH4100 then did you not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068? 1Instead, you loudlyH5860 rushedH5860 upon the spoilsH7998 and didH6213 whatH7451 wasH7451 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068!”
20Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, “2I did obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068, for I wentH1980 on the 3missionH1870 on whichH834 the LordH3068 sentH7971 me; and I have broughtH935 AgagH90 the kingH4428 of AmalekH6002, and have completelyH2763 destroyedH2763 the AmalekitesH6002. 21But 4the peopleH5971 tookH3947 some of the spoilsH7998, sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, the choicestH7225 of the thingsH2764 designatedH2764 forH2764 destructionH2764, to sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068 your GodH430 at GilgalH1537.” 22SamuelH8050 saidH559, “5Does the LordH3068 have as much delightH2656 in burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077 As in obeyingH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068? BeholdH2009, 6to obeyH8085 is betterH2896 thanH4480 a sacrificeH2077, And to payH7181 attentionH7181 is better thanH4480 the fatH2459 of ramsH352.23For rebellionH4805 is as reprehensible as the sinH2403 of 7divinationH7081, And insubordinationH6484 is as reprehensible as 8falseH205 religionH205 and idolatryH8655. SinceH3282 you have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, 9He has also rejectedH3988 you from being kingH4428.”
