1 Samuel 15:8-20

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)_.

15:17

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>_?

15:18

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}

15:19

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>_?

15:20

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>_.
