1 Samuel 15:18-21 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

18. The Lord sent you on a special mission. He said, ‘Go and destroy all the Amalekites. They are evil people. Destroy them all! Fight them until they are completely finished.’

19. So why didn’t you listen to the Lord? You did what the Lord said is wrong because you wanted to keep what you took in battle.”

20. Saul said, “But I did obey the Lord! I went where the Lord sent me. I destroyed all the Amalekites. I brought back only one—their king Agag.

21. And the soldiers took the best sheep and cattle to sacrifice to the Lord your God at Gilgal.”
