- "I am grieved that I have made Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions." Samuel was troubled, and he cried out to the LORD all that night.
- Early in the morning Samuel got up and went to meet Saul, but he was told, "Saul has gone to Carmel. There he has set up a monument in his own honor and has turned and gone on down to Gilgal."
- When Samuel reached him, Saul said, "The LORD bless you! I have carried out the LORD's instructions."
- But Samuel said, "What then is this bleating of sheep in my ears? What is this lowing of cattle that I hear?"
- Saul answered, "The soldiers brought them from the Amalekites; they spared the best of the sheep and cattle to sacrifice to the LORD your God, but we totally destroyed the rest."

- 我立掃羅為王、我後悔了.因為他轉去不跟從我、不遵守我的命令.撒母耳便甚憂愁、終夜哀求耶和華。
- 撒母耳清早起來迎接掃羅.有人告訴撒母耳說、掃羅到了迦密、在那裡立了記念碑、又轉身下到吉甲。
- 撒母耳到了掃羅那裡、掃羅對他說、願耶和華賜福與你、耶和華的命令我已遵守了。
- 撒母耳說、我耳中聽見有羊叫、牛鳴、是從那裡來的呢。
- 掃羅說、這是百姓從亞瑪力人那裡帶來的、因為他們愛惜上好的牛羊、要獻與耶和華你的 神.其餘的我們都滅盡了。
