To Obey Is Better than Sacrifice — 1 Samuel 15:14–15
And Samuel said,
What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
And Saul said,
They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto Jehovah thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
