1Samuel ; Chapter 15 Verse 16-18
16 “Enough!” Samuel said to Saul. “Let me tell you what the Lord said to me last night.”
“Tell me,” Saul replied.
17 Samuel said, “Although you were once small in your own eyes, did you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? The Lord anointed you king over Israel. 18 And he sent you on a mission, saying, ‘Go and completely destroy those wicked people, the Amalekites; wage war against them until you have wiped them out.’ 19 Why did you not obey the Lord? Why did you pounce on the plunder and do evil in the eyes of the Lord?”
6 سموئیل نے ساؤل سے کہا ، “ٹھہرو! میں تجھے بتاؤں گا کہ گذشتہ رات خداوند نے مجھ سے کیا کہا۔”
ساؤل نے جواب دیا” اچھا ! تو کہو کیا اس نے کہا؟”
17 سموئیل نے کہا ، “زمانہ ما ضی میں تم نے سوچا تھا کہ تم اہم آدمی نہیں ہو۔ لیکن پھر بھی تم اسرا ئیل کے خاندانی گرو ہ کے قائد ہو ئے۔ خداوند نے بھی اسرا ئیل پرتمہیں بادشاہ چُنا۔ 18 خداوند نے تمہیں حکموں کے ساتھ باہر بھیجا اس نے حکم دیا ، ’ جا ؤ اور تمام عمالیقیوں کو تباہ کرو۔ وہ بُرے لوگ ہیں ان تمام کو تباہ ہو جا نے دو۔ ان سے لڑو جب تک کہ وہ پو رے مارے نہ جا ئیں۔‘ 19 لیکن تم نے خداوند کی کیوں نہیں سُنی تم نے لوٹ کے مال کو جھپٹ لیا اس لئے تم نے وہ کیا جس کو خداوند نے بُرا سمجھا۔”
My point of view about above verses
Samuel told Saul that God say as I have anointed you as king over my people so that you have to fight Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Don’t spare them put to death men and women, children and infants and all type of cattle
Saul didn’t destroy cattle of Amalekites
As soldiers spared the best cattle's to sacrifice to the Lord
God told Samuel why Saul didn't obey my command fully to destroy Amaleks and their belongings completely
God became angry with Saul as he did not act fully on the instructions given by God
Wr need to obey God with our heart, mind, soul and body and do not offer him anything from loot
May God give us wisdom to understand Him through His Word as He speaks with us through this - and apply it in our lives to have a blissful life on earth
