1 Samuel 15:1-16

15:1

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>_.

15:2

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>_.

15:3

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>_.

15:4

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>_.

15:5

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}

15:6

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>_.

15:7

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>_.

15:8

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>_.

15:9

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}

15:10

Then came the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

15:11

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>_.

15:12

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>_.

15:13

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>_.

15:14

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)_?

15:15

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)_.

15:16

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)_.
