translationNotes

• Has Yahweh as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Yahweh? - This question emphasizes that Yahweh's character always puts obedience in front of sacrifices after disobedience. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion)
• as in obeying the voice of Yahweh - Here the phrase "the voice of Yahweh" is representing the authority of Yahweh. (See: :en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_synecdoche)
• Obedience is better than sacrifice - God wanted Saul's complete obedience in the destruction of the Amalekites. Nothing in the land was fit for sacrifice.
