1 Samuel 15:2-9

2ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I have marked that whichH834 AmalekH6002 didH6213 to IsraelH3478, howH834 he setH7760 himself againstH4714 him in the wayH1870, when he cameH5927 upH5927 outH853 of EgyptH4714.

3NowH6258 go and smiteH5221 AmalekH6002, and utterly destroyH2763 allH3605 that they have, and spareH2550 them notH3808; but slayH4191 bothH3605 manH376 and womanH802, infantH3243 and suckling, oxH7794 and sheepH7716, camelH1581 and ass.

4And SaulH7586 summonedH8085 the peopleH5971, and numberedH6485 them in TelaimH2923, twoH3967 hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH7273, and tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 of JudahH3063.

5And SaulH7586 cameH935 to the cityH5892 of AmalekH6002, and laidH935 wait in the valleyH5158.

6And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto the KenitesH7017, GoH5927, departH5493, getH8432 youH859 downH3381 from among the AmalekitesH6002, lestH6435 I destroyH3605 youH859 with them: for ye shewed kindnessH2617 to allH3605 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when they cameH5927 upH5927 outH413 of EgyptH4714. SoH6213 the KenitesH7017 departedH5493 from among the AmalekitesH6002.

7And SaulH7586 SmoteH5221 the AmalekitesH6002, from HavilahH2341 as thou goest to ShurH7793, that is beforeH6440 EgyptH4714.

8And he tookH8610 AgagH90 the kingH4428 of the AmalekitesH6002 aliveH2416, and utterly destroyed allH3605 the peopleH5971 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.

9But SaulH7586 and the peopleH5971 sparedH2550 AgagH90, and the bestH4315 of the sheepH6629, and of the oxenH1241, and of the fatlingsH4932, and the lambsH3733, and allH3605 that was goodH2896, and would notH3808 utterly destroyH2763 them: but everyH3605 thingH3605 that was vile and refuseH3808, that they destroyed utterly.
