1 Samuel 15:9-11

Living Bible

⁹ However, Saul and his men kept the best of the sheep and oxen and the fattest of the lambs—everything, in fact, that appealed to them. They destroyed only what was worthless or of poor quality.

¹⁰ Then the Lord said to Samuel, ¹¹ “I am sorry that I ever made Saul king, for he has again refused to obey me.”

Samuel was so deeply moved when he heard what God was saying, that he cried to the Lord all night.
