@
Samuel
also
said
unto
Saul
, The
LORD
sent
me to
anoint
thee to be
king
over his
people
, over
Israel
: now therefore
hearken
thou unto the
voice
of the
words
of the
LORD
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:2
@ Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts
, I
remember
that which
Amalek
did
to
Israel
, how he
laid
wait for him in the
way
, when he came
up
from
Egypt
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:3
@ Now
go
and
smite
Amalek
, and utterly
destroy
all that they have, and
spare
them not; but
slay
both
man
and
woman
,
infant
and
suckling
,
ox
and
sheep
,
camel
and
ass
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:4
@ And
Saul
gathered
the
people
together
, and
numbered
them in
Telaim
T@, two
hundred
thousand
footmen
, and
ten
thousand
men
of
Judah
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:5
@ And
Saul
came
to a
city
of
Amalek
, and laid
wait
in the
valley
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:6
@ And
Saul
said
unto the
Kenites
,
Go
,
depart
, get you
down
from
among
the
Amalekites
, lest I
destroy
you with them: for ye
shewed
kindness
to all the
children
of
Israel
, when they came
up
out of
Egypt
. So the
Kenites
departed
from
among
the
Amalekites
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:7
@ And
Saul
smote
the
Amalekites
from
Havilah
until thou
comest
to
Shur
, that is over
against
Egypt
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:8
@ And he
took
Agag
the
king
of the
Amalekites
alive
, and utterly
destroyed
all the
people
with the
edge
of the
sword
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:9
@ But
Saul
and the
people
spared
Agag
, and the
best
of the
sheep
, and of the
oxen
, and of the
fatlings
, and the
lambs
, and all that was
good
, and
would
not utterly
destroy
them: but every
thing
that was
vile
and
refuse
, that they destroyed
utterly
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:10
@ Then came the
word
of the
LORD
unto
Samuel
Sh@,
saying
,
strkjv@1Samuel:15:11
@ It
repenteth
me that I have set
up
Saul
to be
king
: for he is turned
back
from
following
me, and hath not
performed
my
commandments
. And it
grieved
Samuel
Sh@; and he
cried
unto the
LORD
all
night
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:12
@ And when
Samuel
rose
early
to
meet
Saul
in the
morning
, it was
told
Samuel
Sh@,
saying
,
Saul
came
to
Carmel
, and, behold, he set him
up
a
place
, and is gone
about
, and passed
on
, and gone
down
to
Gilgal
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:13
@ And
Samuel
came
to
Saul
: and
Saul
said
unto him,
Blessed
be thou of the
LORD
: I have
performed
the
commandment
of the
LORD
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:14
@ And
Samuel
said
, What meaneth then this
bleating
of the
sheep
in mine
ears
, and the
lowing
of the
oxen
which I
hear
?
strkjv@1Samuel:15:15
@ And
Saul
said
, They have
brought
them from the
Amalekites
: for the
people
spared
the
best
of the
sheep
and of the
oxen
, to
sacrifice
unto the
LORD
thy
God
; and the
rest
we have utterly
destroyed
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:16
@ Then
Samuel
said
unto
Saul
,
Stay
, and I will
tell
thee what the
LORD
hath
said
to me this
night
. And he
said
unto him, Say
on
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:17
@ And
Samuel
said
, When thou wast
little
in thine own
sight
, wast thou not made the
head
of the
tribes
of
Israel
, and the
LORD
anointed
thee
king
over
Israel
?
strkjv@1Samuel:15:18
@ And the
LORD
sent
thee on a
journey
, and
said
,
Go
and utterly
destroy
the
sinners
the
Amalekites
, and
fight
against them until they be
consumed
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:19
@ Wherefore then didst thou not
obey
the
voice
of the
LORD
, but didst
fly
upon the
spoil
, and
didst
evil
in the
sight
of the
LORD
?
strkjv@1Samuel:15:20
@ And
Saul
said
unto
Samuel
Sh@, Yea, I have
obeyed
the
voice
of the
LORD
, and have
gone
the
way
which the
LORD
sent
me, and have
brought
Agag
the
king
of
Amalek
, and have utterly
destroyed
the
Amalekites
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:21
@ But the
people
took
of the
spoil
,
sheep
and
oxen
, the
chief
of the things which should have been utterly
destroyed
, to
sacrifice
unto the
LORD
thy
God
in
Gilgal
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:22
@ And
Samuel
said
, Hath the
LORD
as great
delight
in burnt
offerings
and
sacrifices
, as in
obeying
the
voice
of the
LORD
? Behold, to
obey
is
better
than
sacrifice
, and to
hearken
than the
fat
of
rams
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:23
@ For
rebellion
is as the
sin
of
witchcraft
, and
stubbornness
is as
iniquity
and
idolatry
. Because thou hast
rejected
the
word
of the
LORD
, he hath also
rejected
thee from being
king
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:24
@ And
Saul
said
unto
Samuel
Sh@, I have
sinned
: for I have
transgressed
the
commandment
of the
LORD
, and thy
words
: because I
feared
the
people
, and
obeyed
their
voice
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:25
@ Now therefore, I pray thee,
pardon
my
sin
, and turn
again
with me, that I may
worship
the
LORD
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:26
@ And
Samuel
said
unto
Saul
, I will not
return
with thee: for thou hast
rejected
the
word
of the
LORD
, and the
LORD
hath
rejected
thee from being
king
over
Israel
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:27
@ And as
Samuel
turned
about
to go
away
, he laid
hold
upon the
skirt
of his
mantle
m@, and it
rent
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:28
@ And
Samuel
said
unto him, The
LORD
hath
rent
the
kingdom
of
Israel
from thee this
day
, and hath
given
it to a
neighbour
of thine, that is
better
than thou.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:29
@ And also the
Strength
of
Israel
will not
lie
nor
repent
: for he is not a
man
, that he should
repent
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:30
@ Then he
said
, I have
sinned
: yet
honour
me now, I pray thee, before the
elders
of my
people
, and before
Israel
, and turn
again
with me, that I may
worship
the
LORD
thy
God
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:31
@ So
Samuel
turned
again
after
Saul
; and
Saul
worshipped
the
LORD
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:32
@ Then
said
Samuel
Sh@, Bring ye
hither
to me
Agag
the
king
of the
Amalekites
. And
Agag
came
unto him
delicately
. And
Agag
said
,
Surely
the
bitterness
of
death
is
past
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:33
@ And
Samuel
said
, As thy
sword
hath made
women
childless
, so shall thy
mother
be
childless
among
women
. And
Samuel
hewed
Agag
in
pieces
before
the
LORD
in
Gilgal
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:34
@ Then
Samuel
went
to
Ramah
; and
Saul
went
up
to his
house
to
Gibeah
of
Saul
.
strkjv@1Samuel:15:35
@ And
Samuel
came no
more
to
see
Saul
until the
day
of his
death
:
nevertheless
Samuel
mourned
for
Saul
: and the
LORD
repented
that he had made
Saul
king
over
Israel
.
