1 Samuel 15:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹ Why didn’t you obey the Lord? Why did you take the best things? Why did you do what the Lord said was wrong?”

²⁰ Saul said, “But I did obey the Lord. I did what the Lord told me to do. I destroyed all the Amalekites, and I brought back Agag their king. ²¹ The soldiers took the best sheep and cattle to sacrifice to the Lord your God at Gilgal.”
