1 Samuel 15:21-25

21But the peopleH5971 tookH3947 of the spoilH7998, sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, the chief of the devotedH2764 things, to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in GilgalH1537.

22And SamuelH8050 saidH559, Hath the LORDH3068 as greatH2896 delightH2656 in burntH5930 offeringsH3068 and sacrificesH2077, as in obeyingH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068? BeholdH2009, to obeyH8085 is betterH2896 thanH2896 sacrificeH2077, and to hearken thanH2896 the fatH2459 of ramsH352.

23For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatryH8655 and teraphimH8655. BecauseH3588 thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428.

24And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, I have sinnedH2398: for I have transgressed the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, and thy wordsH1697: becauseH3588 I fearedH3372 the peopleH5971, and obeyedH8085 their voiceH6963.

25NowH6258 therefore, I prayH4994 thee, pardonH5375 my sinH2403, and turnH7725 againH7725 with meH4994, that I may worshipH7812 the LORDH3068.
