Bible Question:
How did Saul justify his disobedience from 1 Samuel Chapter 15 Verses 13-21? |
Bible Answer: Saul tried to justify his actions, but he certainly didn't succeed. He tried to excuse himself by saying that instead of destroying everything as he was commanded, he decided to save the "best things" for sacrifice. Greed was clearly the motive for disobedience, not "fear of his people," That was just one more excuse. Here is what Samuel had to say about Saul's excuses: 1Sa 15:22 And Samuel said, "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams. 1Sa 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king." 1Sa 15:24 Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.
