09:014:048 And he gathered an host, and smote the
Amalekites, and
delivered
Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.
09:014:049 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and
Ishui, and Melchishua:
and
the names of his two daughters were these; the name
of the
firstborn
Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:
09:014:050 And the name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam,
the daughter of
Ahimaaz:
and the name of the captain of his host was Abner,
the
son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
09:014:051 And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner
the father of Abner
was
the son of Abiel.
09:014:052 And there was sore war against the Philistines
all the days of
Saul:
and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man,
he
took
him unto him.
09:015:001 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.
09:015:002 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.
09:015:003 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.
09:015:004 And Saul gathered the people together,
and numbered them in
Telaim,
two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men
of
Judah.
09:015:005 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and
laid wait in the
valley.
09:015:006 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.
09:015:007 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah
until thou comest
to
Shur, that is over against Egypt.
09:015:008 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites
alive, and utterly
destroyed
all the people with the edge of the sword.
09:015:009 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.
09:015:010 Then came the word of the lord unto Samuel, saying,
09:015:011 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.
