1 Samuel 15:18-23 And the Lorde sent the on a iourneye, & sayde: Go, & vtterlye destroye those synners the Amaleckites, and fyght agaynst them, vntill thou vtterlye destroye them.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ And the Lorde sent the on a iourneye, & sayde: Go, & vtterlye destroye those synners the Amaleckites, and fyght agaynst them, vntill thou vtterlye destroye them. ¹⁹ And wherfore hast thou not herkened vnto the voyce of the Lorde, but hast turned to the praye, and hast done that whych is wycked in the syght of the Lorde? ²⁰ And Saul sayde vnto Samuel: yee, I haue harkened vnto the voyce of the Lorde, & haue gone the waye which the Lorde sent me vnto, and haue brought Agag the kyng of Amaleck, and haue vtterlye destroyed the Amaleckites, ²¹ But the people toke of the spoyle shepe, oxen, and the chefest of the thynges whych shulde haue bene destroyed, to offer vnto the Lorde thy God in Gilgall. ²² And Samuel sayde: hath the Lorde as great pleasure in burnt sacrifyces & offeringes, as whan the voyce of the Lord is obeyed? Behold, to obeye is better then sacrifyce, & to herken, is better then the fatt of rammes. ²³ For rebellyon is as the synne of witchcrafte, and stoburnesse is as the wickednesse of Idolatrie. Because thou hast cast awaye the worde of the Lorde, therfore hath the Lorde cast awaye the also, from beynge kynge.
