1 Samuel 15:1-9

1Then SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “1The LordH3068 sentH7971 me to anointH4886 you as kingH4428 overH5921 His peopleH5971, overH5921 IsraelH3478; nowH6258 therefore, listenH8085 to the 2wordsH1697 of the LordH3068. 2ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559: ‘I will 3punishH6485 AmalekH6002 4for whatH834 he didH6213 to IsraelH3478, in that he obstructedH7760 him on the wayH1870 while he was comingH5927 upH5927 from EgyptH4714. 3NowH6258 goH1980 and strikeH5221 AmalekH6002 and 5completelyH2763 destroyH2763 everythingH3605 that he has, and do not spareH2550 him; but 6putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191 bothH4480 manH376 and womanH802, childH5768 and infantH3243, oxH7794 and sheepH7716, camelH1581 and donkeyH2543.’”

4Then SaulH7586 summonedH8085 the peopleH5971 and 7countedH6485 them in 8TelaimH2923: twoH3967 hundredH3967 thousandH505 footH7273 soldiersH7273 and tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 of JudahH3063. 5And SaulH7586 cameH935 to the cityH5892 of AmalekH6002 and setH693 anH693 ambushH693 in the 9wadiH5158. 6But SaulH7586 saidH559 to 10the KenitesH7017, “GoH1980, getH5493 awayH5493, goH3381 downH3381 from amongH8432 the AmalekitesH6003, so that I do not destroyH622 you alongH5973 withH5973 them; for 11you showedH6213 kindnessH2617 to allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 when they wentH5927 upH5927 from EgyptH4714.” So the KenitesH7017 gotH5493 awayH5493 from amongH8432 the AmalekitesH6002. 7Then 12SaulH7586 13defeatedH5221 the AmalekitesH6002, from 14HavilahH2341 15goingH935 toward 16ShurH7793, whichH834 is 17eastH5921H6440 of EgyptH4714. 8He capturedH8610 18AgagH90 the kingH4428 of the AmalekitesH6002 aliveH2416, and 19completelyH2763 destroyedH2763 allH3605 the peopleH5971 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. 9But SaulH7586 and the peopleH5971 20sparedH2550 AgagH90 and the bestH4315 of the sheepH6629, the oxenH1241, the moreH4932 valuableH4932 animals, the lambsH3733, and everythingH3605 that was goodH2896, and were unwillingH3808H14 to destroyH2763 them completelyH2763; but everythingH3605H4399 despicableH959 and weakH4549, that they completelyH2763 destroyedH2763.
