1 Samuel 15:1-3

Context
Saul Is Rejected as King

15:1 Then Samuel said to Saul, “I was the one the Lord sent to anoint you as king over his people Israel. Now listen to what the Lord says. 1  15:2 Here is what the Lord of hosts says: ‘I carefully observed how the Amalekites opposed 2  Israel along the way when Israel 3  came up from Egypt. 15:3 So go now and strike down the Amalekites. Destroy everything that they have. Don’t spare 4  them. Put them to death – man, woman, child, infant, ox, sheep, camel, and donkey alike.’”

1 tn Heb “to the voice of the words of the Lord” (so KJV).

2 tn Heb “what Amalek did to Israel, how he placed against him.”

3 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Israel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tn Or perhaps “don’t take pity on” (cf. CEV).
