1 Samuel 15:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ “Then what,” Samuel asked, “is this bleating of sheep in my ears and mooing of cattle I hear?”

¹⁵ “They were taken from the Amalekites,” Saul said, “because the troops spared the best sheep and cattle in order to sacrifice them to the Lord your God. The rest was placed under the ban.”

¹⁶ Samuel then said to Saul, “Enough! Let me tell you what the Lord said to me last night.”

“Tell me,” Saul replied.
