1 Samuel 15:19-21

New King James Version

¹⁹ Why then did you not obey the voice of the Lord? Why did you swoop down on the ^[a]spoil, and do evil in the sight of the Lord?”

²⁰ And Saul said to Samuel, ^(A)“But I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and gone on the mission on which the Lord sent me, and brought back Agag king of Amalek; I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. ^21 (B)But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.”
