1 Samuel 15:19-21

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁹ Why didn’t you obey the Lord? Why have you taken their belongings and done what the Lord considers evil?”

²⁰ “But I did obey the Lord,” Saul told Samuel. “I went where the Lord sent me, brought ⌞back⌟ King Agag of Amalek, and claimed the Amalekites for God. ²¹ The army took some of their belongings—the best sheep and cows were claimed for God—in order to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.”
