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

The word “they” and the phrase “the people” here both represent Saul’s army. Saul is blaming the people rather than himself.

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.
