Therefore said H559 I, The Philistines H6430 will come H3381 down H3381 now H6258 on me to Gilgal, H1537 and I have not made supplication H2470 to the LORD: H3068 I forced H662 myself therefore, and offered H5927 a burnt H5930 offering.

And Samuel H8050 said H559 to Saul, H7586 You have done foolishly: H5528 you have not kept H8104 the commandment H4687 of the LORD H3068 your God, H430 which H834 he commanded H6680 you: for now H6258 would the LORD H3068 have established H3559 your kingdom H4467 on Israel H3478 for ever. H5769

And Saul H7586 said H559 to Ahiah, H281 Bring H5066 here H5066 the ark H727 of God. H430 For the ark H727 of God H430 was at that time H3117 with the children H1121 of Israel. H3478

But the people H5971 took H3947 of the spoil, H7998 sheep H6629 and oxen, H1241 the chief H7225 of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, H2764 to sacrifice H2076 to the LORD H3068 your God H430 in Gilgal. H1537

And Samuel H8050 said, H559 Has the LORD H3068 as great delight H2656 in burnt H5930 offerings and sacrifices, H2077 as in obeying H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD? H3068 Behold, H2009 to obey H8085 is better H2896 than sacrifice, H2077 and to listen H7181 than the fat H2459 of rams. H352

And thither H8033 you shall bring H935 your burnt H5930 offerings, and your sacrifices, H2077 and your tithes, H4643 and heave H8641 offerings of your hand, H3027 and your vows, H5088 and your freewill H5071 offerings, and the firstborn H1062 of your herds H1241 and of your flocks: H6629

And the king H4428 went H3212 to Gibeon H1391 to sacrifice H2076 there; H8033 for that was the great H1419 high H1116 place: a thousand H505 burnt H5930 offerings did Solomon H8010 offer H5927 on that altar. H4196

Rest H1826 in the LORD, H3068 and wait H2342 patiently H2342 for him: fret H2734 not yourself because of him who prospers H6743 in his way, H1870 because of the man H376 who brings H6213 wicked H4209 devices H4209 to pass. H6213

The sacrifice H2077 of the wicked H7563 is an abomination H8441 to the LORD: H3068 but the prayer H8605 of the upright H3477 is his delight. H7522

Say H559 not you, I will recompense H7999 evil; H7451 but wait H6960 on the LORD, H3068 and he shall save H3467 you.

To do H6213 justice H6666 and judgment H4941 is more acceptable H977 to the LORD H3068 than sacrifice. H2077

The sacrifice H2077 of the wicked H7563 is abomination: H8441 how H637 much H637 more, when H3588 he brings H935 it with a wicked H2154 mind?

He that kills H7819 an ox H7794 is as if he slew H5221 a man; H376 he that sacrifices H2076 a lamb, H7716 as if he cut off a dog's H3611 neck; H6202 he that offers H5927 an oblation, H4503 as if he offered H5927 swine's H2386 blood; H1818 he that burns H2142 incense, H3828 as if he blessed H1288 an idol. H205 Yes, H1571 they have chosen H977 their own ways, H1870 and their soul H5315 delights H2654 in their abominations. H8251
