The sound of sheep

13Then Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said to him, “Blessed are you to Yahweh; I have carried out the word of Yahweh.”

14But Samuel said, “Then what is this sound of sheep in my ears, and the sound of cattle that I hear?”

15And Saul said, “They brought them from the Amalekites, because the people spared the best of the sheep and the cattle, in order to sacrifice them to Yahweh your God; but the rest we devoted to destruction.”

16Then Samuel said to Saul, “Stop, and I will tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.” And he said to him, “Speak.”
