Samuel
also said
unto Saul
,
The LORD
sent
me to anoint
thee
to be
king
over
his people
,
over
Israel
:
now
therefore hearken
thou unto the voice
of the words
of the LORD
.
2
Thus
saith
the LORD
of hosts
,
I remember
that
which Amalek
did
to Israel
,
how
he laid
wait
for him in the way
, when he came up
from Egypt
.
3
Now
go
and smite
Amalek
,
and utterly destroy
all
that they have, and spare them not; but slay
both man
and woman
,
infant
and suckling
,
ox
and sheep
,
camel
and ass
.
4
And Saul
gathered
the people
together
,
and numbered
them in Telaim
,
two hundred
thousand
footmen
,
and ten
thousand
men
of Judah
.
5
And Saul
came
to a city
of Amalek
, and laid wait
in the valley
.
6
And Saul
said
unto the Kenites
,
Go
,
depart
,
get you down
from among
the Amalekites
,
lest I destroy
you with them: for ye shewed
kindness
to all
the children
of Israel
,
when they came up
out of Egypt
.
So the Kenites
departed
from among
the Amalekites
.
7
And Saul
smote
the Amalekites
from Havilah
until
thou comest
to Shur
,
that
is
over against
Egypt
.
8
And he took
Agag
the king
of the Amalekites
alive
,
and utterly destroyed
all
the people
with the edge
of the sword
.
9
But Saul
and the people
spared
Agag
,
and the best
of the sheep
,
and of the oxen
,
and of the fatlings
,
and the lambs
,
and all
that was
good
,
and would
not utterly destroy
them: but every thing
that was
vile
and refuse
,
that they destroyed utterly
.
10
Then
came
the word
of the LORD
unto Samuel
,
saying
,
11
It repenteth
me that I have set up
Saul
to be
king
:
for he is turned back
from following
me, and hath not performed
my commandments
.
And it grieved
Samuel
;
and he cried
unto the LORD
all
night
.
12
And when
Samuel
rose early
to meet
Saul
in the morning
,
it was told
Samuel
,
saying
,
Saul
came
to Carmel
, and, behold, he set him up
a place
,
and is gone about
,
and passed on
,
and gone down
to Gilgal
.
13
And Samuel
came
to Saul
:
and Saul
said
unto him, Blessed
be
thou
of the LORD
:
I have performed
the commandment
of the LORD
.
14
And Samuel
said
,
What
meaneth
then this bleating
of the sheep
in mine ears
,
and the lowing
of the oxen
which
I hear
?
15
And Saul
said
,
They have brought
them from the Amalekites
:
for the people
spared
the best
of the sheep
and of the oxen
,
to sacrifice
unto the LORD
thy God
;
and the rest
we have utterly destroyed
.
16
Then Samuel
said
unto Saul
,
Stay
,
and I will tell
thee
what
the LORD
hath
said
to me this night
. And he
said
unto him, Say on.
17
And Samuel
said
,
When thou
wast
little
in thine own sight
,
wast
thou not
made
the head
of the tribes
of
Israel
,
and the LORD
anointed
thee king
over
Israel
?
18
And the LORD
sent
thee on a journey
,
and said
,
Go
and utterly destroy
the sinners
the Amalekites
,
and fight
against them
until
they be consumed
.
19
Wherefore then didst thou not obey
the voice
of the LORD
,
but didst fly
upon the spoil
,
and didst
evil
in the sight
of the LORD
?
20
And Saul
said
unto Samuel
, Yea, I have obeyed
the voice
of the LORD
, and have gone
the way
which
the LORD
sent
me, and have brought
Agag
the king
of Amalek
,
and have utterly destroyed
the Amalekites
.
21
But the people
took
of the spoil
,
sheep
and oxen
,
the chief
of the things which should have been utterly destroyed
,
to sacrifice
unto the LORD
thy God
in Gilgal
.
22
And Samuel
said
,
Hath the LORD
as great
delight
in burnt offerings
and sacrifices
,
as in obeying
the voice
of the LORD? Behold,
to obey
is
better
than sacrifice
,
and
to hearken
than the fat
of rams
.
23
For rebellion
is as
the sin
of witchcraft
,
and stubbornness
is as
iniquity
and idolatry
.
Because
thou hast rejected
the word
of the LORD
,
he hath also rejected
thee from
being
king
.
24
And Saul
said
unto Samuel
,
I have sinned
:
for I have transgressed
the commandment
of the LORD
,
and thy words
:
because
I feared
the people
,
and obeyed
their voice
.
25
Now
therefore, I pray thee, pardon
my sin
,
and turn again
with me, that I may worship
the LORD
.
26
And Samuel
said
unto Saul
,
I will not return
with thee: for thou hast rejected
the word
of the LORD
,
and the LORD
hath rejected
thee from
being
king
over
Israel
.
27
And as Samuel
turned about
to go
away,
he laid hold
upon the skirt
of his mantle
,
and it rent
.
28
And Samuel
said
unto him, The LORD
hath rent
the kingdom
of Israel
from thee this day
,
and hath given
it to a neighbour
of thine,
that is
better
than
thou.
29
And also the Strength
of Israel
will not lie
nor repent
:
for he
is
not a man
,
that he should repent
.
30
Then he said
,
I have sinned
:
yet
honour
me
now
, I pray thee,
before
the elders
of my people
,
and
before
Israel
,
and turn again
with me, that I may worship
the LORD
thy God
.
31
So Samuel
turned again
after
Saul
;
and
Saul
worshipped
the LORD
.
32
Then
said
Samuel
,
Bring ye hither
to me Agag
the king
of the Amalekites
.
And Agag
came
unto him delicately.
And Agag
said
,
Surely
the bitterness
of death
is past
.
33
And Samuel
said
,
As thy sword
hath made women
childless
,
so
shall thy mother
be
childless
among women
.
And Samuel
hewed
Agag
in pieces
before
the LORD
in Gilgal
.
34
Then Samuel
went
to Ramah
;
and Saul
went
up
to his house
to Gibeah
of Saul
.
35
And
Samuel
came no more
to see
Saul
until
the day
of his death
: nevertheless
Samuel
mourned
for
Saul
:
and the LORD
repented
that he had made
Saul
king
over
Israel
.
