Shmuel Alef 13:10-12

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁰ And it came to pass, that as soon as he had finished offering the olah (burnt offering), hinei, Shmuel came; and Sha’ul went out to meet him, that he might make a brocha greeting on him.

¹¹ And Shmuel said, What hast thou done? And Sha’ul said, Because I saw that HaAm were slipping away from me, and that thou camest not at the mo’ed hayamim, and that the Pelishtim were assembling themselves together at Michmash;

¹² Therefore, said I, the Pelishtim (Philistines) will come down now upon me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto Hashem; I felt compelled therefore, and offered the olah (burnt offering).
