1 Samuel 15:20-22
Modern English Version

20 And Saul said to Samuel, “I have obeyed the voice of the Lord. And I have followed in the way which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 21 But the people took from the plunder sheep and oxen, the first fruits of the banned things to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.”

22 Samuel said,

“Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
    as much as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Obedience is better than sacrifice,
    a listening ear than the fat of rams.
