God demanded Saul: 1Sa
15:3 'Now go and strike Amalek and
utterly destroy all that he has, and do not spare him; but put to death both
man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'"
1Sa
15:13 Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said
to him, "Blessed are you of the LORD! I have carried out the command of
the LORD."
This
is flattery.
1Sa 15:14 But Samuel said, "What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?"
1Sa
15:15 Saul said, "They have brought
them from the Amalekites, for the people spared the best of the sheep and oxen,
to sacrifice to the LORD your God; but
the rest we have utterly destroyed."
Claiming
to honor God by disobeying Him. This too, is flattery, trying to fool God.
Psa
106:34 They did not destroy the peoples,
As the LORD commanded them,
Psa
106:35 But they mingled with the nations
And learned their practices,
Psa
106:36 And served their idols, Which
became a snare to them.
Psa
106:37 They even sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to the demons,
Psa
106:38 And shed innocent blood, The
blood of their sons and their daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of
Canaan; And the land was polluted with the blood.
