1 Samuel 15:2-3
15:2 Here is what the Lord of hosts says: ‘I carefully observed how the Amalekites opposed 1 Israel along the way when Israel 2 came up from Egypt.
15:3 So go now and strike down the Amalekites. Destroy everything that they have. Don’t spare 3 them. Put them to death – man, woman, child, infant, ox, sheep, camel, and donkey alike.’”
1 tn Heb “what Amalek did to Israel, how he placed against him.”
2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Israel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Or perhaps “don’t take pity on” (cf. CEV).
