*
Now the LORD sent you on a mission ,
and said , "
Go ,
and utterly destroy the sinners ,
the Amalekites ,
and fight against them until they are consumed .'
*
Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD ?
Why did you swoop down on the spoil ,
and do evil in the sight of the LORD ?"
*
And Saul said to Samuel , "
But I have obeyed the voice of the LORD ,
and gone on the mission on which the LORD sent me ,
and brought back Agag king of Amalek ;
I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites .
*
But the people took of the plunder ,
sheep and oxen ,
the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed ,
to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal ."
*
So Samuel said : "
Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices ,
As in obeying the voice of the LORD ?
Behold ,
to obey is better than sacrifice ,
And to heed than the fat of rams .
