Why then did you not obey the voice of the Lord? Why did you swoop on the soil and do what was evil in the sight of the Lord? The offence of the addressee was that he
- A. spared the Kenites
- B. spared Agag and the fatty animal of Amalek
- C. totally disobeyed David's voice
- D. sacrificed to God without Samuel's approval.
Correct Answer: B. spared Agag and the fatty animal of Amalek
Explanation
The offence of the addressee (Saul) was that he: B. spared Agag and the fatty animals of Amalek. This can be found in 1 Samuel 15. God had commanded Saul to utterly destroy the Amalekites and all their possessions, but Saul spared King Agag and some of the best livestock. This disobedience led to Samuel's rebuke and the subsequent rejection of Saul as king by God.
