1 Samuel 15:13-15

International Standard Version

¹³ Samuel approached Saul. “May the Lord bless you,” Saul said. “I’ve carried out the Lord’s command.”

¹⁴ Samuel said, “Then what is this bleating of sheep in my ears and the lowing of cattle that I hear?”

¹⁵ Saul replied, “They brought them from the Amalekites. The people spared the best of the sheep and cattle to offer sacrifices to the Lord your God, and the rest they completely destroyed.”
