‏ 1 Samuel 15:22

v. 22-23: Samuel delivers a powerful response, teaching that obedience is better than sacrifice. God values humble and sincere obedience more than outward religious rituals. Disobedience is compared to rebellion, stubbornness, and even idolatry. Samuel declares that because Saul rejected God’s command, God has rejected Saul as king. This shows that disobedience is a serious sin, especially for leaders (1 Samuel 15:22-23; 1 Samuel 15:22-23 a, Micah 6:6-8; Micah 6:6-8 b).
