Kings I 15:13-16

13 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said to him, Blessed thou of the Lord: I have performed all that the Lord said.

14 And Samuel said, What then the bleating of this flock in my ears, and the sound of the oxen which I hear?

15 And Saul said, I have brought them out of Amalec, that which the people preserved, even the best of the sheep, and of the cattle, that it might be sacrificed to the Lord thy God, and the rest have I utterly destroyed.

16 And Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord has said to me this night: and he said to him, Say on.
