H8050
And Samuel
H559
said,
H6963
What meaneth then this bleating
H6629
of the sheep
H241
in mine ears,
H6963
and the lowing
H1241
of the oxen
H8085
which I hear?
15
H7586
And Saul
H559
said,
H935
They have brought
H6003
them from the Amalekites:
H5971
for the people
H2550
spared
H4315
the best
H6629
of the sheep
H1241
and of the oxen,
H2076
to sacrifice
H3068
unto Jehovah
H430
thy God;
H3498
and the rest
H2763
we have utterly destroyed.
16
H8050
Then Samuel
H559
said
H7586
unto Saul,
H7503
Stay,
H5046
and I will tell
H3068
thee what Jehovah
H1696
hath said
H3915
to me this night.
H1696
And he said
H1696
unto him, Say on.
17
H8050
And Samuel
H559
said,
H6996
Though thou wast little
H5869
in thine own sight,
H7218
wast thou not made the head
H7626
of the tribes
H3478
of Israel?
H3068
And Jehovah
H4886
anointed
H4428
thee king
H3478
over Israel;
18
H3068
and Jehovah
H7971
sent
H1870
thee on a journey,
H559
and said,
H3212
Go,
H2763
and utterly destroy
H2400
the sinners
H6002
the Amalekites,
H3898
and fight
H3615
against them until they be consumed.
19
H8085
Wherefore then didst thou not obey
H6963
the voice
H3068
of Jehovah,
H5860
but didst fly
H7998
upon the spoil,
H6213
and didst
H7451
that which was evil
H5869
in the sight
H3068
of Jehovah?
20
H7586
And Saul
H559
said
H8050
unto Samuel,
H8085
Yea, I have obeyed
H6963
the voice
H3068
of Jehovah,
H3212
and have gone
H1870
the way
H3068
which Jehovah
H7971
sent
H935
me, and have brought
H90
Agag
H4428
the king
H6002
of Amalek,
H2763
and have utterly destroyed
H6002
the Amalekites.
21
H5971
But the people
H3947
took
H7998
of the spoil,
H6629
sheep
H1241
and oxen,
H7225
the chief
H2764
of the devoted
H2076
things, to sacrifice
H3068
unto Jehovah
H430
thy God
H1537
in Gilgal.
22
H8050
And Samuel
H559
said,
H3068
Hath Jehovah
H2656
as great delight
H5930
in burnt-offerings
H2077
and sacrifices,
H8085
as in obeying
H6963
the voice
H3068
of Jehovah?
H8085
Behold, to obey
H2896
is better
H2077
than sacrifice,
H8085
and to hearken
H2459
than the fat
H352
of rams.
