1 Samuel 15:17-19

Contemporary English Version

¹⁷ Samuel continued, “You may not think you're very important, but the Lord chose you to be king, and you are in charge of the tribes of Israel. ¹⁸ When the Lord sent you on this mission, he told you to wipe out those worthless Amalekites. ¹⁹ Why didn't you listen to the Lord? Why did you keep the animals and make him angry?”
