I Samuel Chapter 15 Gives Another Exposition Against Christianity on Sacrifice or Offering

v. 24 Saul Admits, “I Have Sinned”

Major cause of Saul’s (king of Israel) failure is because he listens and is affected by people and situation around him; instead of being steadfast to G-d’s command.

v. 22 “obedience” is better “ than offerings.”

v. 29 solidifies the attributes of G-d, that He does not lie neither repent for He is not a man to repent.

Now, Jesus is once again exposed as a hoax!

“Saul’s Ill Fated Victory Over Amalek”

Samuel said to Saul: “Hashem sent me to anoint you as king over His people, over Israel, so now hear the sound of Hashem’s word.
15:1
So said Hashem, Master of Legions: ‘I have remembered what Amalek did to Israel — [the ambush] he emplaced against him on the way, as he went up from Egypt.
15:2
Now go and strike down Amalek and destroy everything he has. Have no pity on him — kill man and woman alike, infant and suckling alike, ox and sheep alike, camel and donkey alike.”
15:3
Saul had all the people summoned, and he counted them through lambs. …
:4
He captured Agag, king of Amalek, alive, and the entire people he destroyed by the edge of the sword.
:8
Saul, as well as the people, took pity of Agag, on the best of the sheep, the cattle, the fatted bulls, the fatted sheep, and all that was good; and they were not willing to destroy them; but the inferior and wretched livestock, that they did destroy.
:9
The word of Hashem then came to Samuel, saying,
:10
“I have reconsidered My having made Saul king, for he has turned away from Me and has not fulfilled My word!” Samuel aggrieved [by this] and he cried out to Hashem the entire night.
:11
When Samuel came to Saul, Saul said to him, “Blessed are you to Hashem! I have fulfilled the word of Hashem.”
:13
Samuel said, “And what is this sound of the sheep in my ears and the sound of the cattle that I hear?”
:14
Saul said, “I have brought them from the Amalekite, for the people took pity on the best of the sheep and cattle in order to bring them as offerings to Hashem, your God, but we have destroyed the remainder.”
:15
Samuel said to Saul, “Desist, and I shall tell you what Hashem spoke to me last night,” He said to him, “Speak.”
:16
Why did you not obey the voice of Hashem? You rushed after spoils, and you did what was evil in the eyes of Hashem.”
:19
Samuel said, “Does Hashem delight in elevation-offerings and feast-offerings as in obedience to the voice of Hashem? Behold! — to obey is better than choice offering, to be attentive than the fat of rams.
:22
For rebelliousness is like the sin of sorcery, and verbosity is like the iniquity of Idolatry, Because you have rejected the word of God, He has rejected you as king!”
:23
Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the word of Hashem and your word, for I feared the people and I hearkened to their voice.
:24
Moreover, the Eternal One of Israel does not lie and does not relent, for He is not a human that He should relent.”
:29
He said, “I have sinned, Now, please honor me in the presence of the elders of my people and in the presence of Israel; return with me, and I shall prostrate myself to Hashem, your God.”
:30
So Samuel returned after Saul, and Saul prostrated himself before Hashem.
:31

1 And Samuel said to Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you to be king over His people, over Israel; and now hearken to the voice of the words of the Lord.
2 So said the Lord of Hosts, ‘I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid (wait) for him on the way, when he came up out of Egypt.
3 Now, go, and you shall smite Amalek, and you shall utterly destroy all that is his, and you shall not have pity on him: and you shall slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.’ “
4 And Saul called the people together, and he counted them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand, the men of Judah.
5 And Saul came as far as the city of Amalek, and he fought in the valley.
6 And Saul said to the Kenite, “Turn away and go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them, and you did kindness with all the children of Israel, when they went up out of Egypt.” And the Kenites turned away from amidst Amalek.
7 And Saul smote Amalek, from Havilah until you come to Shur, which is in front of Egypt.
8 And he seized Agag, the king of Amalek, alive; and he completely destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 And Saul and the people had pity on Agag, and on the best of the sheep and the cattle, and the fatlings, and on the fattened sheep, and on all that was good; and they did not want to destroy them; but everything which was vile and feeble, that they utterly destroyed.
10 And the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying,
11 “I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned back from following Me, and he has not fulfilled My words.” And it distressed Samuel, and he cried out to the Lord all night.
12 And Samuel arose early in the morning to meet Saul; and it was told to Samuel, saying, “Saul has come to Carmel, and behold, he is setting up a place for himself, and he passed and went down to Gilgal.”
13 And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said to him, “May you be blessed of the Lord; I have fulfilled the word of the Lord.”
14 And Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears? And the lowing of the oxen which I hear?”
15 And Saul said, “They brought them from the Amalekites, for the people had pity on the best of the sheep, and the oxen, in order to sacrifice to the Lord your God: and the rest we have utterly destroyed.”
16 And Samuel said to Saul, “Desist, and I shall tell you what the Lord spoke to me last night.” And he said to him, “Speak.”
17 And Samuel said, “Even if you are small in your own eyes, are you not the head of the tribes of Israel? And the Lord anointed you as king over Israel.
18 And the Lord sent you on a mission, and said, ‘Go, and you shall utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and you shall wage war against them until they destroy them.’
19 Now, why did you not hearken to the voice of the Lord, but you flew upon the spoil, and you did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord?”
20 And Saul said to Samuel, “Yes, I did hearken to the voice of the Lord. I did go on the mission on which the Lord sent me, and I brought Agag, the king of Amalek alive, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
21 And the people took from the spoil, sheep and oxen, the best of the ban, to sacrifice to your God in Gilgal.”
22 And Samuel said, “Has the Lord (as much) desire in burnt offerings and peace-offerings, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than a peace-offering; to hearken (is better) than the fat of rams.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Since you rejected the word of the Lord, He has rejected you from being a king.”
24 And Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I transgressed the Lord’s command, and your words, for I feared the people, and I hearkened to their voice.
25 And now, forgive now my sin, and return with me, and I shall prostrate myself to the Lord.”
26 And Samuel said to Saul, “I shall not return with you, for you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you from being a king over Israel.”
27 And Samuel turned to go, and he seized the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
28 And Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you, today; and has given it to your fellow who is better than you.
29 And also, the Strength of Israel will neither lie nor repent, for He is not a man to repent.”
30 And he said, “I have sinned. Now, honor me now in the presence of the elders of my people, and in the presence of Israel, and return with me, and I shall prostrate myself to the Lord your God.”
31 And Samuel returned after Saul, and Saul prostrated himself to the Lord.
32 And Samuel said, “Bring Agag, the king of Amalek, near to me.” And Agag went to him delicately. And Agag said, “Surely, the bitterness of death has turned.”
33 And Samuel said, “As your sword bereaved women, so will your mother be bereaved among women.” And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.
34 And Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah of Saul.
35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death, for Samuel mourned for Saul, and the Lord was repentant that He had made Saul reign over Israel.

Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
