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.22 But Samuel declared: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obedience to His voice?

Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has rejected you as king.”
