1 Samuel 15:22-23
22And SamuelH8050 saidH559, hath YhwhH3068 as great delightH2656 in burnt offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077, as in obeyingH8085 the voiceH6963 of YhwhH3068? Behold, to obeyH8085 is betterH2896 than sacrificeH2077, and to hearkenH7181 than the fatH2459 of ramsH352.
23For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraftH7081, and stubbornnessH6484 is as iniquityH205 and idolatryH8655. Because thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428.1
