| So the army rushed greedily on 1 the 2 plunder, confiscating sheep, cattle, and calves. They slaughtered them right on the ground, and the army ate them blood and all. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 14:38 |
| Then Saul said, “All you leaders of the army come here. Find out 1 how this sin occurred today. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 14:39 |
| For as surely as the Lord, the deliverer of Israel, lives, even if it turns out to be my own son Jonathan, he will certainly die!” But no one from the army said anything. 1 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 14:45 |
| But the army said to Saul, “Should Jonathan, who won this great victory in Israel, die? May it never be! As surely as the Lord lives, not a single hair of his head will fall to the ground! For it is with the help of God that he has acted today.” So the army rescued Jonathan from death. 1 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 14:47 |
| After Saul had secured his royal position over Israel, he fought against all their 1 enemies on all sides – the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. In every direction that he turned he was victorious. 2 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 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 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 15:3 |
| So go now and strike down the Amalekites. Destroy everything that they have. Don’t spare 1 them. Put them to death – man, woman, child, infant, ox, sheep, camel, and donkey alike.’” |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 15:6 |
| Saul said to the Kenites, “Go on and leave! Go down from among the Amalekites! Otherwise I will sweep you away 1 with them! After all, you were kind to all the Israelites when they came up from Egypt.” So the Kenites withdrew from among the Amalekites. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 15:9 |
| However, Saul and the army spared Agag, along with the best of the flock, the cattle, the fatlings, 1 and the lambs, as well as everything else that was of value. 2 They were not willing to slaughter them. But they did slaughter everything that was despised 3 and worthless. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 15:10 |
| Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel: |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 15:12 |
| Then Samuel got up early to meet Saul the next morning. But Samuel was informed, “Saul has gone to Carmel where 1 he is setting up a monument for himself. Then Samuel left 2 and went down to Gilgal.” 3 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 15:16 |
| Then Samuel said to Saul, “Wait a minute! 1 Let me tell you what the Lord said to me last night.” Saul 2 said to him, “Tell me.” |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 15:23 |
| For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and presumption is like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as 1 king.” |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 15:24 |
| Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I have disobeyed what the Lord commanded 1 and what you said as well. 2 For I was afraid of the army, and I followed their wishes. 3 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 15:25 |
| Now please forgive my sin! Go back with me so I can worship 1 the Lord.” |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 15:26 |
| Samuel said to Saul, “I will not go back with you, for you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel!” |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 15:29 |
| The Preeminent One 1 of Israel does not go back on his word 2 or change his mind, for he is not a human being who changes his mind.” 3 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 15:30 |
| Saul 1 again replied, “I have sinned. But please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel. Go back with me so I may worship the Lord your God.” |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 15:31 |
| So Samuel followed Saul back, and Saul worshiped the Lord. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 15:32 |
| Then Samuel said, “Bring me King Agag of the Amalekites.” So Agag came to him trembling, 1 thinking to himself, 2 “Surely death is bitter!” 3 |
