1 Samuel 15:20-22
Legacy Standard Bible
20 Then Saul said to Samuel, “(A)I did [a]obey the voice of Yahweh and went on the way on which Yahweh sent me and have brought back Agag the king of Amalek and have devoted the Amalekites to destruction. 21 But (B)the people took some of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the choicest of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God at Gilgal.” 22 And Samuel said,
“(C)Has Yahweh as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
As in obeying the voice of Yahweh?
Behold, (D)to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams.
