1 Samuel 15:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ Samuel asked, “Why, then, do I hear cattle mooing and sheep bleating?”

¹⁵ Saul answered, “My men took them from the Amalekites. They kept the best sheep and cattle to offer as a sacrifice to the Lord your God, and the rest we have destroyed completely.”^[a]

¹⁶ “Stop,” Samuel ordered, “and I will tell you what the Lord said to me last night.”

“Tell me,” Saul said.
