Bleating of Sheep – April 8, 2026

                                                   Bleating of Sheep

                                                        1 Sam 15

1Then Samuel said to Saul, “The LORD sent me to anoint you as king over His people, over Israel; now therefore, listen to the words of the LORD. 2This is what the LORD of armies says: ‘I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, in that he obstructed him on the way while he was coming up from Egypt. 3Now go and strike Amalek and completely destroy everything that he has, and do not spare him; but put to death both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel, and donkey.’”

9But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the more valuable animals, the lambs, and everything that was good, and were unwilling<mh3808, 14=””> to destroy them completely; but everything<mh3605, 4399=””> despicable and weak, that they completely destr</mh3605,></mh3808,>oyed.

10 the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying, 11“I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments.

Does the LORD have as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than a sacrifice, and to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.

For rebellion is as reprehensible as the sin of divination, and insubordination is as reprehensible as false religion and idolatry.

 

Since you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has also rejected you from being king. Then Saul said “I have performed the commandment of the Lord!

 

Then Samuel said, “Then what is this bleating of sheep?”

 

My Comment: If God told Trump to destroy all the Ayatollahs of Iran and yet he still signed a treaty with them, God could say to Trump Then what is this ‘deal’ you made with them?”
