1 Samuel 15:20-22
Lexham English Bible

20 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have listened to the voice of Yahweh, and I have gone on the way that Yahweh sent me! I brought Agag the king of Amalek, and the Amalekites I have utterly destroyed. 21 The troops took from the plunder, sheep and cattle, the best of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God at Gilgal.”

22 Then Samuel said,

    as there is in obeying[a] Yahweh?
Look! To obey[b] is better than sacrifice;
    to give heed than the fat of rams.
