He was careful always to obey God's laws. Saul led his army to fight against soldiers from other countries, and God gave him victory after victory. But gradually, King Saul began to forget that his power came from the Lord.

Then Saul's army captured a town with many fine sheep and cattle. God commanded that everything, even these animals, be destroyed. Saul decided instead to send the sheep and cows home with his men. The prophet Samuel grew very angry. "Since you have turned away from God, He now turns away from you."
