1 Samuel 15:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷ And Samuel told him, “When you didn’t think much of yourself, God made you king of Israel. ¹⁸ And he sent you on an errand and told you, ‘Go and completely destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, until they are all dead.’ ¹⁹ Then why didn’t you obey the Lord? Why did you rush for the loot and do exactly what God said not to?”
