In 1 Samuel 15:17-23, Saul displayed the wrong attitude when he disobeyed God's command to completely destroy the Amalekites and their possessions. When confronted by the prophet Samuel, Saul tried to justify his actions by claiming that he saved the best livestock for sacrifices to the Lord. However, Samuel reminded him that God values obedience over sacrifices. Saul's failure to take responsibility for his actions and his attempt to rationalize disobedience demonstrated a lack of humility and true repentance, leading to God's rejection of Saul as king. This experience highlighted the serious consequences of prioritizing personal judgment over divine command.
