*
And the people took of the spoil ,
of the flocks and oxen ,
the chief of the devoted things ,
to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God in Gilgal .
*
And Samuel said ,
Hath the Lord as much delight in burnt
offerings and in sacrifices ,
as in obeying the voice of the Lord ?
Behold ,
to obey is better than sacrifice ,
and to attend more than the fat of the rams .
*
For the sin of witchcraft is rebellion ,
and idolatry and image
worship ,
stubbornness ;
inasmuch as thou hast despised the word of the Lord ,
he hath also despised thee that thou shalt not be king .
