22 Then Samuel said,
"Is there as much delight for Yahweh in burnt offerings and sacrifices as there is in ⌊obeying⌋* Yahweh? Look! ⌊To obey⌋* is better than sacrifice; to give heed than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination; arrogance is like iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of Yahweh, he has rejected you from being king!" 24 Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned because I have transgressed ⌊the commandment of Yahweh⌋* and your words, for I feared the troops and I listened to their voice.
