1 Samuel 15:13-15

Living Bible

¹³ When Samuel finally found him, Saul greeted him cheerfully.

“Hello there,” he said. “Well, I have carried out the Lord’s command!”

¹⁴ “Then what was all the bleating of sheep and lowing of oxen I heard?” Samuel demanded.

¹⁵ “It’s true that the army spared the best of the sheep and oxen,” Saul admitted, “but they are going to sacrifice them to the Lord your God; and we have destroyed everything else.”
