Text Appearing Before Image:
Samuel heard the bleating of the sheep, andthe lowing of the oxen, which Saul had taken from the Amalekites, and he said,What meaneth, then, this bleating of the sheep, and the lowing of the oxen,which I hear? Then Saul began to make excuse and say, that the people hadsaved them alive to offer them up as sacrifices to the Lord. But Samuel askedSaul whether the Lord was better pleased to have sacrifices offered up to him,than he was to have his commands obeyed. It was better to obey than to offerup sacrifices, Samuel said. For to go on doing what the Lord had commandedthem not to do, was as wicked as to worship idols. And Samuel told Saul, that because he had disobeyed the Lord, the Lord wouldput him away from being king; but Samuel did not mean that Saul would beput away at once. Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And he said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces. 122
