These words were directed to king

Answer Details

These words were directed to King Saul. They are found in 1 Samuel 15:22, where Prophet Samuel is speaking to Saul, who had disobeyed God's command to destroy the Amalekites completely and had spared their king, Agag, and some of the livestock. Samuel was reminding Saul that God values obedience more than sacrifices, and that obedience is better than offering burnt offerings and sacrifices.
