Samuel Announces The Downfall Of Saul

¹⁹ So why didn’t you obey the Lord? Why did you rush on the plunder and do what was evil in the Lord’s sight?” ²⁰ “But I did obey the Lord!” Saul answered. “I went on the mission the Lord gave me: I brought back Agag, king of Amalek, and I completely destroyed the Amalekites. ²¹ The troops took sheep and cattle from the plunder—the best of what was set apart for destruction—to sacrifice to the Lord your God at Gilgal.”
