1 Samuel 15:19-21

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ So why didn’t you obey the Lord? Why did you rush on the plunder^(A) and do what was evil in the Lord’s sight?”

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.”^(B)
