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. 2This is what the Lord of armies says: ‘I will 3punish Amalek 4for what he did to Israel, in that he obstructed him on the way while he was coming up from Egypt. 3Now go and strike Amalek and 5completely destroy everything 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.’”
