1 Samuel 15:1-3

1Then Samuel said to Saul, “1The Lord sent me to anoint you as king over His people, over Israel; now therefore, listen to the 2words of the Lord. 2Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘I will 3punish Amalek 4for what he did to Israel, how he set himself against him on the way while he was coming up from Egypt. 3Now go and strike Amalek and 5utterly destroy all that he has, and do not spare him; but 6put to death both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”
