I brought back Agag, their king.The soldiers took sheep and cattle from what had been taken from our enemies. They took the best of what had been set apart to God. They wanted to sacrifice them to the Lord your God at Gilgal.”But Samuel replied,“ What pleases the Lord more? Burnt offerings and sacrifices, or obeying the Lord?
