1 Samuel 15:1-19

1SamuelH8050 also saidH559 to SaulH7586, The LORDH3068 sentH7971 me to anointH4886 thee to be kingH4428 over his peopleH5971, over IsraelH3478: now therefore hearkenH8085 thou to the voiceH6963 of the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068. 2Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I rememberH6485 that which AmalekH6002 didH6213 to IsraelH3478, how he laidH7760 wait for him in the wayH1870, when he came upH5927 from EgyptH4714. 3Now goH3212 and smiteH5221 AmalekH6002, and utterly destroyH2763 all that they have, and spareH2550 them not; but slayH4191 both manH376 and womanH802, infantH5768 and sucklingH3243, oxH7794 and sheepH7716, camelH1581 and donkeyH2543. 4And SaulH7586 gatheredH8085 the peopleH5971 togetherH8085, and numberedH6485 them in TelaimH2923, two hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH7273, and tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 of JudahH3063. 5And SaulH7586 cameH935 to a cityH5892 of AmalekH6002, and laid waitH7378H693 in the valleyH5158.1 6And SaulH7586 saidH559 to the KenitesH7017, GoH3212, departH5493, withdraw yourselvesH3381 from amongH8432 the AmalekitesH6002, lest I destroyH622 you with them: for ye showedH6213 kindnessH2617 to all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when they came upH5927 from EgyptH4714. So the KenitesH7017 departedH5493 from amongH8432 the AmalekitesH6003. 7And SaulH7586 smoteH5221 the AmalekitesH6002 from HavilahH2341 until thou comestH935 to ShurH7793, that is east ofH6440 EgyptH4714. 8And he tookH8610 AgagH90 the kingH4428 of the AmalekitesH6002 aliveH2416, and utterly destroyedH2763 all 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 all that was goodH2896, and wouldH14 not utterly destroyH2763 them: but every thingH4399 that was vileH5240 and refuseH4549, that they destroyed utterlyH2763.2

10Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to SamuelH8050, sayingH559, 11I repentH5162 that I have set upH4427 SaulH7586 to be kingH4428: for he is turned backH7725 from followingH310 me, and hath not performedH6965 my commandmentsH1697. And it grievedH2734 SamuelH8050; and he criedH2199 to the LORDH3068 all nightH3915. 12And when SamuelH8050 rose earlyH7925 to meetH7125 SaulH7586 in the morningH1242, it was toldH5046 SamuelH8050, sayingH559, SaulH7586 cameH935 to CarmelH3760, and, behold, he set him upH5324 a placeH3027, and hast gone aboutH5437, and passed onH5674, and gone downH3381 to GilgalH1537. 13And SamuelH8050 cameH935 to SaulH7586: and SaulH7586 saidH559 to him, BlessedH1288 be thou of the LORDH3068: I have performedH6965 the commandmentH1697 of the LORDH3068. 14And SamuelH8050 saidH559, What meaneth then this bleatingH6963 of the sheepH6629 in my earsH241, and the lowingH6963 of the oxenH1241 which I hearH8085? 15And SaulH7586 saidH559, They have broughtH935 them from the AmalekitesH6003: for the peopleH5971 sparedH2550 the bestH4315 of the sheepH6629 and of the oxenH1241, to sacrificeH2076 to the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; and the restH3498 we have utterly destroyedH2763. 16Then SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, StayH7503, and I will tellH5046 thee what the LORDH3068 hath saidH1696 to me this nightH3915. And he saidH559 to him, Say onH1696. 17And SamuelH8050 saidH559, When thou wast littleH6996 in thy own sightH5869, wast thou not made the headH7218 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and the LORDH3068 anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478? 18And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 thee on a journeyH1870, and saidH559, GoH3212 and utterly destroyH2763 the sinnersH2400 the AmalekitesH6002, and fightH3898 against them until they are consumedH3615.3 19Why then didst thou not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, but didst flyH5860 upon the spoilH7998, and didstH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068?
