1 Sm 15:16-23/Mk 2:18-22

“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
    as in obedience to the voice of the Lord?
Surely, to obey is better than sacrifice,

For rebellion is no less a sin than divination,
    and stubbornness is like iniquity and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,
    he has also rejected you from being king.””

Look here, my father. See the end of your robe which I hold. I cut off an end of your robe and did not kill you. Now see and be convinced that I plan no harm and no rebellion. I have done you no wrong, though you are hunting me down to take my life. May the Lord judge between me and you. May the Lord exact justice from you in my case. I shall not lay a hand on you. As the old proverb says, ‘From the wicked comes wickedness.’ Thus I will not lay a hand on you. What is the king of Israel attacking? What are you pursuing? A dead dog! A single flea! The Lord will be the judge to decide between us. May the Lord see this, defend my cause, and give me justice against you!””

1 Samuel 24:12-16, NABRE
