1 Samuel 15:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ Samuel said, “Once you didn’t think much of yourself. But now you have become the leader of the tribes of Israel. The Lord appointed you to be king over Israel. ¹⁸ And he told you to do something. He said, ‘Go and destroy those evil people, the Amalekites. Make war on them until all of them are dead.’ ¹⁹ Why didn’t you obey the Lord? Why did you take the best things? Why did you do what the Lord said was wrong?”
