1 Samuel 15:17-19

International Standard Version

¹⁷ So Samuel replied, “Is it not true that though you were small in your own eyes you became head of the tribes of Israel, and the Lord anointed you king over Israel? ¹⁸ The Lord sent you on a mission: ‘Go and completely destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they’re destroyed.’ ¹⁹ Why didn’t you obey the Lord, but grabbed the spoil and did evil in the Lord’s sight?”
