Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD? — Samuel's accusation is direct: Saul has disobeyed God and done 'evil' (ra'a) in God's sight. The phrase 'fly upon the spoil' ('nifhatzta el hashallal) suggests greed and plunder as the motive.
