It is this: “To obey is better than a sacrifice, to pay attention than the fat of rams; for rebelliousness is the same as the sin of divination, and pushing ahead presumptuously the same as using uncanny power and teraphim. ” ​ — 1 Samuel 15: 22, 23.
Kebenaran bahwa ” menaati lebih baik daripada korban, memperhatikan lebih baik daripada lemak domba jantan; sebab pemberontakan sama dengan dosa menenung, dan mendahului secara lancang sama dengan menggunakan tenaga gaib dan terafim ”. ​ — 1 Samuel 15: 22, 23.
