To Obey Is Better than Sacrifice — 1 Samuel 15:10–13

    Then came the word of Jehovah unto Samuel, saying,
It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments.
And Samuel was wroth; and he cried unto Jehovah all night.
1SAM 15:10–11

    And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying,
Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a monument, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal.
And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said unto him,
Blessed be thou of Jehovah: I have performed the commandment of Jehovah.
