1 Samuel 15:22

« 1 Sam 141 Sam 151 Sam 16 »

22 And Samuel said,

“^aHas Yahweh as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices

As in obeying the voice of Yahweh?

Behold, ^bto obey is better than sacrifice,

And to heed than the fat of rams.

1 Samuel 15:23

« 1 Sam 141 Sam 151 Sam 16 »

For rebellion is as the sin of ^adivination,

And insubordination is as ^bwickedness and idolatry.

Because you have rejected the word of Yahweh,

^cHe has also rejected you from being king.”

1 Samuel 16:1

David Anointed King

Then Yahweh said to Samuel, “^aHow long will you be grieving over Saul? ^bI have rejected him from being king over Israel. ^cFill your horn with oil and go; I will send you to ^dJesse the Bethlehemite, for I ^esee among his sons a king for Me.”
