1 Samuel 15:1-35

Samuel
<08050>

also said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

The LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8804)

me to anoint
<04886> (8800)

thee [to be] king
<04428>

over his people
<05971>_,

over Israel
<03478>_:

now therefore hearken
<08085> (8798)

thou unto the voice
<06963>

of the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

I remember
<06485> (8804)

[that] which Amalek
<06002>

did
<06213> (8804)

to Israel
<03478>_,

how he laid
<07760> (8804)

[wait] for him in the way
<01870>_,

when he came up
<05927> (8800)

from Egypt
<04714>_.

Now go
<03212> (8798)

and smite
<05221> (8689)

Amalek
<06002>_,

and utterly destroy
<02763> (8689)

all that they have, and spare
<02550> (8799)

them not; but slay
<04191> (8689)

both man
<0376>

and woman
<0802>_,

infant
<05768>

and suckling
<03243> (8802)_,

ox
<07794>

and sheep
<07716>_,

camel
<01581>

and ass
<02543>_.

And Saul
<07586>

gathered
<08085> (0)

the people
<05971>

together
<08085> (8762)_,

and numbered
<06485> (8799)

them in Telaim
<02923>_,

two hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

footmen
<07273>_,

and ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>_.

And Saul
<07586>

came
<0935> (8799)

to a city
<05892>

of Amalek
<06002>_,

and laid wait
<07378> (8799) <0693> (8686)

in the valley
<05158>_.

{laid...: or, fought}

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the Kenites
<07017>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

depart
<05493> (8798)_,

get you down
<03381> (8798)

from among
<08432>

the Amalekites
<06002>_,

lest I destroy
<0622> (8799)

you with them: for ye shewed
<06213> (8804)

kindness
<02617>

to all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

when they came up
<05927> (8800)

out of Egypt
<04714>_.

So the Kenites
<07017>

departed
<05493> (8799)

from among
<08432>

the Amalekites
<06003>_.

And Saul
<07586>

smote
<05221> (8686)

the Amalekites
<06002>

from Havilah
<02341>

[until] thou comest
<0935> (8800)

to Shur
<07793>_,

that [is] over against
<06440>

Egypt
<04714>_.

And he took
<08610> (8799)

Agag
<090>

the king
<04428>

of the Amalekites
<06002>

alive
<02416>_,

and utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)

all the people
<05971>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_.

But Saul
<07586>

and the people
<05971>

spared
<02550> (8799)

Agag
<090>_,

and the best
<04315>

of the sheep
<06629>_,

and of the oxen
<01241>_,

and of the fatlings
<04932>_,

and the lambs
<03733>_,

and all [that was] good
<02896>_,

and would
<014> (8804)

not utterly destroy
<02763> (8687)

them: but every thing
<04399>

[that was] vile
<05240>

and refuse
<04549> (8738)_,

that they destroyed utterly
<02763> (8689)_.

{fatlings: or, second sort}

Then came the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

It repenteth
<05162> (8738)

me that I have set up
<04427> (8689)

Saul
<07586>

[to be] king
<04428>_:

for he is turned back
<07725> (8804)

from following
<0310>

me, and hath not performed
<06965> (8689)

my commandments
<01697>_.

And it grieved
<02734> (8799)

Samuel
<08050>_;

and he cried
<02199> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>

all night
<03915>_.

And when Samuel
<08050>

rose early
<07925> (8686)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

Saul
<07586>

in the morning
<01242>_,

it was told
<05046> (8714)

Samuel
<08050>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Saul
<07586>

came
<0935> (8804)

to Carmel
<03760>_,

and, behold, he set him up
<05324> (8688)

a place
<03027>_,

and is gone about
<05437> (8735)_,

and passed on
<05674> (8799)_,

and gone down
<03381> (8799)

to Gilgal
<01537>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>_:

and Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] thou of the LORD
<03068>_:

I have performed
<06965> (8689)

the commandment
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [meaneth] then this bleating
<06963>

of the sheep
<06629>

in mine ears
<0241>_,

and the lowing
<06963>

of the oxen
<01241>

which I hear
<08085> (8802)_?

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

They have brought
<0935> (8689)

them from the Amalekites
<06003>_:

for the people
<05971>

spared
<02550> (8804)

the best
<04315>

of the sheep
<06629>

and of the oxen
<01241>_,

to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_;

and the rest
<03498> (8802)

we have utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)_.

Then Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

Stay
<07503> (8685)_,

and I will tell
<05046> (8686)

thee what the LORD
<03068>

hath said
<01696> (8765)

to me this night
<03915>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Say on
<01696> (8761)_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

When thou [wast] little
<06996>

in thine own sight
<05869>_,

[wast] thou not [made] the head
<07218>

of the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

anointed
<04886> (8799)

thee king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_?

And the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8799)

thee on a journey
<01870>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

and utterly destroy
<02763> (8689)

the sinners
<02400>

the Amalekites
<06002>_,

and fight
<03898> (8738)

against them until they be consumed
<03615> (8763)_.

{they...: Heb. they consume them}

Wherefore then didst thou not obey
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

but didst fly
<05860> (8799)

upon the spoil
<07998>_,

and didst
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_?

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

Yea, I have obeyed
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and have gone
<03212> (8799)

the way
<01870>

which the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8804)

me, and have brought
<0935> (8686)

Agag
<090>

the king
<04428>

of Amalek
<06002>_,

and have utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)

the Amalekites
<06002>_.

But the people
<05971>

took
<03947> (8799)

of the spoil
<07998>_,

sheep
<06629>

and oxen
<01241>_,

the chief
<07225>

of the things which should have been utterly destroyed
<02764>_,

to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

in Gilgal
<01537>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hath the LORD
<03068>

[as great] delight
<02656>

in burnt offerings
<05930>

and sacrifices
<02077>_,

as in obeying
<08085> (8800)

the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>_?

Behold, to obey
<08085> (8800)

[is] better
<02896>

than sacrifice
<02077>_,

[and] to hearken
<07181> (8687)

than the fat
<02459>

of rams
<0352>_.

For rebellion
<04805>

[is as] the sin
<02403>

of witchcraft
<07081>_,

and stubbornness
<06484> (8687)

[is as] iniquity
<0205>

and idolatry
<08655>_.

Because thou hast rejected
<03988> (8804)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

he hath also rejected
<03988> (8799)

thee from [being] king
<04428>_.

{witchcraft: Heb. divination}

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_:

for I have transgressed
<05674> (8804)

the commandment
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and thy words
<01697>_:

because I feared
<03372> (8804)

the people
<05971>_,

and obeyed
<08085> (8799)

their voice
<06963>_.

Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon
<05375> (8798)

my sin
<02403>_,

and turn again
<07725> (8798)

with me, that I may worship
<07812> (8691)

the LORD
<03068>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

I will not return
<07725> (8799)

with thee: for thou hast rejected
<03988> (8804)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

hath rejected
<03988> (8799)

thee from being king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_.

And as Samuel
<08050>

turned about
<05437> (8735)

to go away
<03212> (8800)_,

he laid hold
<02388> (8686)

upon the skirt
<03671>

of his mantle
<04598>_,

and it rent
<07167> (8735)_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, The LORD
<03068>

hath rent
<07167> (8804)

the kingdom
<04468>

of Israel
<03478>

from thee this day
<03117>_,

and hath given
<05414> (8804)

it to a neighbour
<07453>

of thine, [that is] better
<02896>

than thou.

And also the Strength
<05331>

of Israel
<03478>

will not lie
<08266> (8762)

nor repent
<05162> (8735)_:

for he [is] not a man
<0120>_,

that he should repent
<05162> (8736)_.

{Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory}

Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_:

[yet] honour
<03513> (8761)

me now, I pray thee, before the elders
<02205>

of my people
<05971>_,

and before Israel
<03478>_,

and turn again
<07725> (8798)

with me, that I may worship
<07812> (8694)

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_.

So Samuel
<08050>

turned again
<07725> (8799)

after
<0310>

Saul
<07586>_;

and Saul
<07586>

worshipped
<07812> (8691)

the LORD
<03068>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Samuel
<08050>_,

Bring ye hither
<05066> (8685)

to me Agag
<090>

the king
<04428>

of the Amalekites
<06002>_.

And Agag
<090>

came
<03212> (8799)

unto him delicately
<04574>_.

And Agag
<090>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Surely
<0403>

the bitterness
<04751>

of death
<04194>

is past
<05493> (8804)_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

As thy sword
<02719>

hath made women
<0802>

childless
<07921> (8765)_,

so shall thy mother
<0517>

be childless
<07921> (8799)

among women
<0802>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

hewed
<08158> (0)

Agag
<090>

in pieces
<08158> (8762)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

in Gilgal
<01537>_.

Then Samuel
<08050>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Ramah
<07414>_;

and Saul
<07586>

went up
<05927> (8804)

to his house
<01004>

to Gibeah
<01390>

of Saul
<07586>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

came no more
<03254> (8804)

to see
<07200> (8800)

Saul
<07586>

until the day
<03117>

of his death
<04194>_:

nevertheless
<03588>

Samuel
<08050>

mourned
<056> (8694)

for Saul
<07586>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

repented
<05162> (8738)

that he had made Saul
<07586>

king
<04427> (8689)

over Israel
<03478>_.
