1 Samuel 15:20-22
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
20 ‘But I did obey the Lord! ’ Saul answered.[a] ‘I went on the mission the Lord gave me: I brought back King Agag of Amalek, and I completely destroyed the Amalekites. 21 The troops took sheep, goats, and cattle from the plunder – the best of what was set apart for destruction – to sacrifice to the Lord your God at Gilgal.’(A)
22 Then Samuel said:
Does the Lord(B) take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices
as much as in obeying the Lord?
Look: to obey is better than sacrifice,
to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.(C)
