1 Samuel 15:13-15

The Message

¹³ As Samuel came close, Saul called out, “God’s blessings on you! I accomplished God’s plan to the letter!”

¹⁴ Samuel said, “So what’s this I’m hearing—this bleating of sheep, this mooing of cattle?”

¹⁵ “Only some Amalekite loot,” said Saul. “The soldiers saved back a few of the choice cattle and sheep to offer up in sacrifice to God. But everything else we destroyed under the holy ban.”
