1 Samuel 15:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ When Samuel got there, Saul said, “May the Lord bless you. I’ve done what he directed me to do.”

¹⁴ But Samuel said, “Then why do I hear the baaing of sheep? Why do I hear the mooing of cattle?”

¹⁵ Saul answered, “The soldiers brought them from the Amalekites. They spared the best of the sheep and cattle. They did it to sacrifice them to the Lord your God. But we totally destroyed everything else.”
