1 Samuel 15:13-15

Contemporary English Version

¹³ Samuel finally caught up with Saul,^[a] and Saul told him, “I hope the Lord will bless you! I have done what the Lord told me.”

¹⁴ “Then why,” Samuel asked, “do I hear sheep and cattle?”

¹⁵ “The army took them from the Amalekites,” Saul explained. “They kept the best sheep and cattle, so they could sacrifice them to the Lord your God. But we destroyed everything else.”
