21 H5971 But the people H3947 [H8799] took H7998 of the spoil, H6629 sheep H1241 and oxen, H7225 the chief H2764 of the things which should have been utterly secluded, H2076 [H8800] to sacrifice H3068 to the LORD H430 thy God H1537 in Gilgal.

22 H8050 And Samuel H559 [H8799] said, H3068 Hath the LORD H2656 as great delight H5930 in burnt offerings H2077 and sacrifices, H8085 [H8800] as in obeying H6963 the voice H3068 of the LORD? H8085 [H8800] Behold, to obey H2896 is better H2077 than sacrifice, H7181 [H8687] and pricking up the ear H2459 than the fat H352 of rams.

23 H4805 For rebellion H2403 is as the sin H7081 of witchcraft, H6484 [H8687] and stubbornness H205 is as nothingness H8655 and idolatry. H3988 [H8804] Because thou hast rejected H1697 the word H3068 of the LORD, H3988 [H8799] he hath also rejected H4428 thee from being king.

24 H7586 And Saul H559 [H8799] said H8050 to Samuel, H2398 [H8804] I have sinned: H5674 [H8804] for I have transgressed H6310 the mouth H3068 of the LORD, H1697 and thy words: H3372 [H8804] because I feared H5971 the people, H8085 [H8799] and obeyed H6963 their voice.
