Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, I rememberh6485h8804 that which Amalekh6002 didh6213h8804 to Israelh3478, how he laidh7760h8804 wait for him in the wayh1870, when he came uph5927h8800 from Egypth4714.

3

Now goh3212h8798 and smiteh5221h8689 Amalekh6002, and utterly destroyh2763h8689 all that they have, and spareh2550h8799 them not; but slayh4191h8689 both manh376 and womanh802, infanth5768 and sucklingh3243h8802, oxh7794 and sheeph7716, camelh1581 and assh2543.

And Saulh7586 saidh559h8799 unto the Kenitesh7017, Goh3212h8798, departh5493h8798, get you downh3381h8798 from amongh8432 the Amalekitesh6002, lest I destroyh622h8799 you with them: for ye shewedh6213h8804 kindnessh2617 to all the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478, when they came uph5927h8800 out of Egypth4714. So the Kenitesh7017 departedh5493h8799 from amongh8432 the Amalekitesh6003.

And Saulh7586 smoteh5221h8686 the Amalekitesh6002 from Havilahh2341 until thou comesth935h8800 to Shurh7793, that is over againsth6440 Egypth4714.

But Saulh7586 and the peopleh5971 sparedh2550h8799 Agagh90, and the besth4315 of the sheeph6629, and of the oxenh1241, and of the fatlingsh4932, and the lambsh3733, and all that was goodh2896, and wouldh14h8804 not utterly destroyh2763h8687 them: but every thingh4399 that was vileh5240 and refuseh4549h8738, that they destroyed utterlyh2763h8689. fatlings: or, second sort

10

Then came the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 unto Samuelh8050, sayingh559h8800,

11

It repentethh5162h8738 me that I have set uph4427h8689 Saulh7586 to be kingh4428: for he is turned backh7725h8804 from followingh310 me, and hath not performedh6965h8689 my commandmentsh1697. And it grievedh2734h8799 Samuelh8050; and he criedh2199h8799 unto the LORDh3068 all nighth3915.

12

And when Samuelh8050 rose earlyh7925h8686 to meeth7125h8800 Saulh7586 in the morningh1242, it was toldh5046h8714 Samuelh8050, sayingh559h8800, Saulh7586 cameh935h8804 to Carmelh3760, and, behold, he set him uph5324h8688 a placeh3027, and is gone abouth5437h8735, and passed onh5674h8799, and gone downh3381h8799 to Gilgalh1537.

13

And Samuelh8050 cameh935h8799 to Saulh7586: and Saulh7586 saidh559h8799 unto him, Blessedh1288h8803 be thou of the LORDh3068: I have performedh6965h8689 the commandmenth1697 of the LORDh3068.

14

And Samuelh8050 saidh559h8799, What meaneth then this bleatingh6963 of the sheeph6629 in mine earsh241, and the lowingh6963 of the oxenh1241 which I hearh8085h8802?

15

And Saulh7586 saidh559h8799, They have broughth935h8689 them from the Amalekitesh6003: for the peopleh5971 sparedh2550h8804 the besth4315 of the sheeph6629 and of the oxenh1241, to sacrificeh2076h8800 unto the LORDh3068 thy Godh430; and the resth3498h8802 we have utterly destroyedh2763h8689.

16

Then Samuelh8050 saidh559h8799 unto Saulh7586, Stayh7503h8685, and I will tellh5046h8686 thee what the LORDh3068 hath saidh1696h8765 to me this nighth3915. And he saidh559h8799 unto him, Say onh1696h8761.

17

And Samuelh8050 saidh559h8799, When thou wast littleh6996 in thine own sighth5869, wast thou not made the headh7218 of the tribesh7626 of Israelh3478, and the LORDh3068 anointedh4886h8799 thee kingh4428 over Israelh3478?

18

And the LORDh3068 senth7971h8799 thee on a journeyh1870, and saidh559h8799, Goh3212h8798 and utterly destroyh2763h8689 the sinnersh2400 the Amalekitesh6002, and fighth3898h8738 against them until they be consumedh3615h8763. they...: Heb. they consume them

19

Wherefore then didst thou not obeyh8085h8804 the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068, but didst flyh5860h8799 upon the spoilh7998, and didsth6213h8799 evilh7451 in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068?

20

And Saulh7586 saidh559h8799 unto Samuelh8050, Yea, I have obeyedh8085h8804 the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068, and have goneh3212h8799 the wayh1870 which the LORDh3068 senth7971h8804 me, and have broughth935h8686 Agagh90 the kingh4428 of Amalekh6002, and have utterly destroyedh2763h8689 the Amalekitesh6002.

21

But the peopleh5971 tookh3947h8799 of the spoilh7998, sheeph6629 and oxenh1241, the chiefh7225 of the things which should have been utterly destroyedh2764, to sacrificeh2076h8800 unto the LORDh3068 thy Godh430 in Gilgalh1537.

22

And Samuelh8050 saidh559h8799, Hath the LORDh3068 as great delighth2656 in burnt offeringsh5930 and sacrificesh2077, as in obeyingh8085h8800 the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068? Behold, to obeyh8085h8800 is betterh2896 than sacrificeh2077, and to hearkenh7181h8687 than the fath2459 of ramsh352.

23

For rebellionh4805 is as the sinh2403 of witchcrafth7081, and stubbornnessh6484h8687 is as iniquityh205 and idolatryh8655. Because thou hast rejectedh3988h8804 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, he hath also rejectedh3988h8799 thee from being kingh4428. witchcraft: Heb. divination

24

And Saulh7586 saidh559h8799 unto Samuelh8050, I have sinnedh2398h8804: for I have transgressedh5674h8804 the commandmenth6310 of the LORDh3068, and thy wordsh1697: because I fearedh3372h8804 the peopleh5971, and obeyedh8085h8799 their voiceh6963.

25

Now therefore, I pray thee, pardonh5375h8798 my sinh2403, and turn againh7725h8798 with me, that I may worshiph7812h8691 the LORDh3068.

26

And Samuelh8050 saidh559h8799 unto Saulh7586, I will not returnh7725h8799 with thee: for thou hast rejectedh3988h8804 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, and the LORDh3068 hath rejectedh3988h8799 thee from being kingh4428 over Israelh3478.

27

And as Samuelh8050 turned abouth5437h8735 to go awayh3212h8800, he laid holdh2388h8686 upon the skirth3671 of his mantleh4598, and it renth7167h8735.

28

And Samuelh8050 saidh559h8799 unto him, The LORDh3068 hath renth7167h8804 the kingdomh4468 of Israelh3478 from thee this dayh3117, and hath givenh5414h8804 it to a neighbourh7453 of thine, that is betterh2896 than thou.

29

And also the Strengthh5331 of Israelh3478 will not lieh8266h8762 nor repenth5162h8735: for he is not a manh120, that he should repenth5162h8736. Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory

30

Then he saidh559h8799, I have sinnedh2398h8804: yet honourh3513h8761 me now, I pray thee, before the eldersh2205 of my peopleh5971, and before Israelh3478, and turn againh7725h8798 with me, that I may worshiph7812h8694 the LORDh3068 thy Godh430.

31

So Samuelh8050 turned againh7725h8799 afterh310 Saulh7586; and Saulh7586 worshippedh7812h8691 the LORDh3068.

32

Then saidh559h8799 Samuelh8050, Bring ye hitherh5066h8685 to me Agagh90 the kingh4428 of the Amalekitesh6002. And Agagh90 cameh3212h8799 unto him delicatelyh4574. And Agagh90 saidh559h8799, Surelyh403 the bitternessh4751 of deathh4194 is pasth5493h8804.

33

And Samuelh8050 saidh559h8799, As thy swordh2719 hath made womenh802 childlessh7921h8765, so shall thy motherh517 be childlessh7921h8799 among womenh802. And Samuelh8050 hewedh8158 Agagh90 in piecesh8158h8762 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 in Gilgalh1537.

34

Then Samuelh8050 wenth3212h8799 to Ramahh7414; and Saulh7586 went uph5927h8804 to his househ1004 to Gibeahh1390 of Saulh7586.

35

And Samuelh8050 came no moreh3254h8804 to seeh7200h8800 Saulh7586 until the dayh3117 of his deathh4194: neverthelessh3588 Samuelh8050 mournedh56h8694 for Saulh7586: and the LORDh3068 repentedh5162h8738 that he had made Saulh7586 kingh4427h8689 over Israelh3478.
