1. KJV King James Version

   9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.*15.9 fatlings: or, second sort

   20 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal. 22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.*15.23 witchcraft: Heb. divination

2. NIV New International Version

   9 But Saul and the army spared Agag and the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves*15:9 Or the grown bulls; the meaning of the Hebrew for this phrase is uncertain. and lambs—everything that was good. These they were unwilling to destroy completely, but everything that was despised and weak they totally destroyed.

   20 "But I did obey the Lord," Saul said. "I went on the mission the Lord assigned me. I completely destroyed the Amalekites and brought back Agag their king. 21 The soldiers took sheep and cattle from the plunder, the best of what was devoted to God, in order to sacrifice them to the Lord your God at Gilgal."

   22 But Samuel replied:

   "Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices

   as much as in obeying the Lord?

   To obey is better than sacrifice,

   and to heed is better than the fat of rams.

   23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination,

   and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.

   Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,

   he has rejected you as king."

3. ESV English Standard Version

   9 *ver. 15, 21;[ch. 28:18]But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep and of the oxen and of the fattened calves*15:9 The meaning of the Hebrew term is uncertain and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them. All that was despised and worthless they devoted to destruction.

   20 And Saul said to Samuel, *ver. 13"I have obeyed the voice of the Lord. I have gone on the mission on which the Lord sent me. I have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and I have devoted the Amalekites to destruction. 21 *ver. 15But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the best of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal." 22 And Samuel said,

   *Ps. 40:6-8;50:8,9;Prov. 21:3;Isa. 1:11-13,16,17;Jer. 7:22,23;Mic. 6:6-8;Heb. 10:6-9"Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,

   as in obeying the voice of the Lord?

   Behold, *Eccles. 5:1;Hos. 6:6;Matt. 9:13;12:7;Mark 12:33to obey is better than sacrifice,

   and to listen than the fat of rams.

   23 For rebellion is as the sin of divination,

   and presumption is as iniquity and *See Gen. 31:19,34idolatry.

   Because *ver. 26you have rejected the word of the Lord,

   *ch. 13:14he has also rejected you from being king."

4. NLT New Living Translation

   9 Saul and his men spared Agag’s life and kept the best of the sheep and goats, the cattle, the fat calves, and the lambs—everything, in fact, that appealed to them. They destroyed only what was worthless or of poor quality.

   20 "But I did obey the Lord," Saul insisted. "I carried out the mission he gave me. I brought back King Agag, but I destroyed everyone else. 21 Then my troops brought in the best of the sheep, goats, cattle, and plunder to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal."

   22 But Samuel replied,

   "What is more pleasing to the Lord:

   your burnt offerings and sacrifices

   or your obedience to his voice?

   Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice,

   and submission is better than offering the fat of rams.

   23 Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft,

   and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols.

   So because you have rejected the command of the Lord,

   he has rejected you as king."

5. NASB New American Standard Bible 2020

   9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the more valuable animals, the lambs, and everything that was good, and were unwilling to destroy them completely; but everything despicable and weak, that they completely destroyed.

   20 Then Saul said to Samuel, "I did obey the voice of the Lord, for I went on the *15:20 Lit waymission on which the Lord sent me; and I have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have completely destroyed the Amalekites. 21 But the people took some of the spoils, sheep and oxen, the choicest of the things designated for destruction, to sacrifice to the Lord your God at Gilgal." 22 Samuel said,

   "Does the Lord have as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices

   As in obeying the voice of the Lord?

   Behold, to obey is better than a sacrifice,

   And to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.

   23 "For rebellion is as reprehensible as the sin of divination,

   And insubordination is as reprehensible as false religion and idolatry.

   Since you have rejected the word of the Lord,

   He has also rejected you from being king."

6. CSB Christian Standard Bible

   9 Saul and the troops spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, goats, cattle, and choice animals,  * 15:9 Lit and the second ones as well as the young rams and the best of everything else. They were not willing to destroy them, but they did destroy all the worthless and unwanted things.

   20 "But I did obey the Lord! " Saul answered.  * 15:20 Lit answered Samuel "I went on the mission the Lord gave me: I brought back King Agag of Amalek, and I completely destroyed the Amalekites. 21 The troops took sheep, goats, and cattle from the plunder — the best of what was set apart for destruction — to sacrifice to the Lord your God at Gilgal."  * 15:21 Ex 32:22–23

   22 Then Samuel said:

   Does the Lord* 15:22 Ps 40:6–8; 51:16–17; Is 1:11–15; Mc 6:6–8 take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices

   as much as in obeying the  Lord?

   Look: to obey is better than sacrifice,

   to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.  * 15:22 Heb 10:5–7

   23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination,  * 15:23 Dt 18:10

   and defiance is like wickedness  * 15:23 Gn 31:19,34 and idolatry.

   Because you have rejected the word of the  Lord,

   he has rejected you as king.  * 15:23 1Sm 8:7

7. DRA Douay-Rheims American 1899

   9 And Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the flocks of sheep and of the herds, and the garments and the rams, and all that was beautiful, and would not destroy them: but every thing that was vile and good for nothing, that they destroyed. 20 And Saul said to Samuel: Yea I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord, and have walked in the way by which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalec, and Amalec I have slain. 21 But the people took of the spoils sheep and oxen, as the firstfruits of those things that were slain, to offer sacrifice to the Lord their God in Galgal. 22 And Samuel said: Doth the Lord desire holocausts and victims, and not rather that the voice of the Lord should be obeyed? For obedience is better than sacrifices: and to hearken rather than to offer the fat of rams. 23 Because it is like the sin of witchcraft, to rebel: and like the crime of idolatry, to refuse to obey. Forasmuch therefore as thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord hath also rejected thee from being king.

8. MSG The Message

   7-9 Then Saul went after Amalek, from the canyon all the way to Shur near the Egyptian border. He captured Agag, king of Amalek, alive. Everyone else was killed under the terms of the holy ban. Saul and the army made an exception for Agag, and for the choice sheep and cattle. They didn’t include them under the terms of the holy ban. But all the rest, which nobody wanted anyway, they destroyed as decreed by the holy ban.

   20,21 Saul defended himself. "What are you talking about? I did obey God. I did the job God set for me. I brought in King Agag and destroyed the Amalekites under the terms of the holy ban. So the soldiers saved back a few choice sheep and cattle from the holy ban for sacrifice to God at Gilgal—what’s wrong with that?"

   22,23 Then Samuel said,

   Do you think all God wants are sacrifices—

   empty rituals just for show?

   He wants you to listen to him!

   Plain listening is the thing,

   not staging a lavish religious production.

   Not doing what God tells you

   is far worse than fooling around in the occult.

   Getting self-important around God

   is far worse than making deals with your dead ancestors.

   Because you said No to God’s command,

   he says No to your kingship.
