1 Samuel 13:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ Just as he finished, Samuel arrived. Saul went to meet him.

¹¹ Samuel asked, “What have you done?”

Saul answered, “I saw the soldiers leaving me, and you were not here. The Philistines were gathering at Micmash. ¹² Then I thought, ‘The Philistines will come against me at Gilgal. And I haven’t asked for the Lord’s approval.’ So I forced myself to offer the whole burnt offering.”
