1 Samuel 15:20-22
Tree of Life Version

20 “But I did obey the voice of Adonai,” Saul said to Samuel. “I went on the mission on which Adonai sent me, and brought back Agag the king of Amalek—and utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 21 But the people took some of the spoil, sheep and oxen—the best of what was under the ban of destruction—to sacrifice to Adonai your God in Gilgal.”

22 Samuel said:

“Does Adonai delight in burnt offerings
    and sacrifices
    as in obeying the voice of Adonai?[a]
    Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
    to pay heed than the fat of rams.
