1 Samuel 15:21-25

21But 1the 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, “2Does the LordH3068 have as much delightH2656 in burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077 As in obeyingH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068? BeholdH2009, 3to 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 4divinationH7081, And insubordinationH6484 is as reprehensible as 5falseH205 religionH205 and idolatryH8655. SinceH3282 you have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, 6He has also rejectedH3988 you from being kingH4428.”

24Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, “7I have sinnedH2398, for 8I have violatedH5674 the 9commandH6310 of the LordH3068 and your wordsH1697, becauseH3588 I fearedH3372 the peopleH5971 and listenedH8085 to their voiceH6963. 25NowH6258 then, 10pleaseH4994 pardonH5545 my sinH2403 and returnH7725 with me, so that I may worshipH2331 the LordH3068.”
