13. And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the Lord; I have performed the commandment of the Lord.
14. Then Samuel said, What means then this bleating of the sheep in my ears and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
15. And Saul said, They have brought them from Amalek, for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God, and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
16. Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.
17. And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the Lord anointed thee king over Israel?
18. And the Lord sent thee on a journey and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners of Amalek and fight against them until they are consumed.
19. Why then didst thou not hear the voice of the Lord but didst fly upon the spoil and didst evil in the sight of the Lord?
