Read 1 Samuel 15.10-23
In verse 15: Saul defends himself by blaming his troops (the people) for sparing the best sheep and cattle, though he is implicated in v.9.
He also says that the animals were spared for sacrifice, and this is the ground for Samuel's subsequent rebuke.
In verse 22: The fat of rams was part of the animal burned in sacrifice to the Lord.
In verse 23: The kind of divination prohibited here is related to foreign idolatry and does not include divination through a legitimate priest of the Lord.
Rebellion and stubbornness are like divination and idolatry because they involve turning away from the Lord.
