20 Then Saul said to Samuel: »I did obey the voice of Jehovah. I went on the mission Jehovah sent me. I brought back Agag the king of Amalek. I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. »
21 The people took from the plunder of the flock the best of the sheep and cattle to sacrifice to Jehovah your God in Gilgal.
