OET (OET-LV) And_ Shāʼūl _he/it_said from_ˊAmālēqites brought_them that it_had_compassion the_people on the_best_of the_sheep and_the_cattle so_as to_sacrifice_[them] to/for_YHWH god_of_your and_DOM the_rest we_totally_destroyed.
OET (OET-RV) “Ah, the warriors took them from the Amalekites,” Sha’ul answered. “They wanted to save the best of the sheep and the cattle in order to sacrifice to your God Yahweh. But we completely destroyed the rest.”
(Occurrence 0) They have brought … the people spared
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl from,Amalekites brought,them which/who spared the,people on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in best_of the,sheep and,the,cattle to sacrifice to/for=YHWH God_of,your and=DOM the,rest utterly_destroyed )
The word “they” and the phrase “the people” here both represent Saul’s army. Saul is blaming the people rather than himself.
(Occurrence 0) to sacrifice to Yahweh your God

Saul is arguing that animals for sacrifice were an exception to Yahweh’s command to destroy everything.
(Occurrence 0) Yahweh your God

Saul here does not describe Samuel’s God as his own God.
15:15 Saul blamed the army even though he was the commander. Certainly, his real motivation was not spiritual (15:9).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
