2: ThusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 of hosts,H6635 I will punishH6485 -H0853 [for] whatH0834 he didH6213 AmalekH6002 to Israel,H3478 howH0834 he ambushedH7760 on the way,H1870 when he came upH5927 from Egypt.H4714

3: NowH6258 goH1980 and attackH5221 -H0853 Amalek,H6002 and utterly destroyH2763 -H0853 allH3605 thatH0834 and not-H3808 do spareH2550 themH5921 but killH4191 from manH0376 toH5704 woman,H0802 from infantH5768 and toH5704 nursing child,H3243 oxH7794 andH5704 sheep,H7716 camelH1581 andH5704 donkey.H2543

4: So gathered togetherH8085 SaulH7586 -H0853 the peopleH5971 and numbered themH6485 in Telaim,H2923 two hundredH3967 thousandH0505 foot soldiers,H7273 and tenH6235 thousandH0505 -H0853 menH0376 of Judah.H3063

5: And cameH0935 SaulH7586 toH5704 a cityH5892 of Amalek,H6002 and lay in waitH7378 in the valley.H5158

6: And saidH0559 SaulH7586 toH0413 the Kenite,H7017 go,H1980 depart,H5493 get downH3381 from amongH8432 the Amalekite.H6003 LestH6435 I destroy youH0622 with themH5973 for youH0859 showedH6213 kindnessH2617 toH5973 allH3605 the sonsH1121 of Israel,H3478 when they came upH5927 out of EgyptH4714 so departedH5493 the KeniteH7017 from amongH8432 the Amalekites,H6002

7: and attackedH5221 SaulH7586 -H0853 the AmalekitesH6002 from HavilahH2341 all the way toH0935 Shur,H7793 which isH0834 -H5921 eastH6440 of Egypt.H4714

8: And He tookH8610 -H0853 AgagH0090 the kingH4428 of the AmalekitesH6002 alive,H2416 andH0853 allH3605 the peopleH5971 utterly destroyedH2763 with the edgeH6310 of sword.H2719

9: But sparedH2550 SaulH7586 and the peopleH5971 onH5921 Agag,H0090 andH5921 the bestH4315 of the sheep,H6629 and the oxen,H1241 and the fatlings,H4932 andH5921 the lambs,H3733 andH5921 allH3605 [that was] good,H2896 and notH3808 were willingH0014 to utterly destroy themH2763 butH3605 everythingH4399 despisedH0959 and worthless,H4549 -H0853 that they utterly destroyed.H2763

10: And cameH1961 the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 toH0413 Samuel,H8050 saying,H0559

11: I greatly regretH5162 thatH3588 I have set upH4427 -H0853 SaulH7586 [as] king,H4428 forH3588 he has turned backH7725 from following MeH0310 andH0853 My commandments.H1697 NotH3808 has performedH6965 and it grievedH2734 Samuel-H8050 and he cried outH2199 toH0413 YahwehH3068 allH3605 night.H3915

12: So when rose earlyH7925 SamuelH8050 to meetH7122 SaulH7586 in the morning,H1242 and it was toldH5046 Samuel,H8050 saying,H0559 wentH0935 SaulH7586 to Carmel,H3760 and indeed,H2009 he set upH5324 a monument,H3027 and he has gone on around,H5437 and passed by,H5674 and gone downH3381 to Gilgal.H1537

13: And wentH0935 SamuelH8050 toH0413 Saul,H7586 and saidH0559 SaulH7586 Blessed [are]H1288 youH0859 of Yahweh!!H3068 I have performedH6965 -H0853 the commandment ofH1697 Yahweh.H3068

14: But said,H0559 SamuelH8050 then whatH4100 bleatingH6963 of the sheepH6629 [is] thisH2088 in my ears,H0241 and the lowingH6963 of the oxenH1241 whichH0834 IH0595 hear?H8085

15: and said,H0559 SaulH7586 from the AmalekiteH6003 they have brought themH0935 forH0834 sparedH2550 the peopleH5971 theH5921 bestH4315 of the sheepH6629 and the oxen,H1241 toH4616 sacrificeH2076 to YahwehH3068 your God-H0430 andH0853 the restH3498 we have utterly destroyed.H2763

16: And saidH0559 SamuelH8050 toH0413 Saul,H7586 Be quiet,H7503 and I will tellH5046 -H0853 whatH0834 saidH1696 YahwehH3068 to meH0413 last night.H3915 And he saidH0559 speak on.H1696

17: So said,H0559 SamuelH8050 [were] notH3808 whenH0518 littleH6996 you [were]H0859 in your own eyes,H5869 headH7218 of the tribesH7626 of Israel,H3478 you [not]H0859 and did anoint youH4886 YahwehH3068 kingH4428 overH5921 Israel?H3478

18: and sent youH7971 YahwehH3068 on a mission,H1870 and said,H0559 goH1980 and utterly destroyH2763 -H0853 the sinfulH2400 -H0853 the Amalekites,H6002 and fightH3898 untilH5704 are consumedH3615 they.H0853

19: Then whyH4100 notH3808 did you obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of Yahweh,H3068 and why did you swoop downH5860 onH0413 the spoil,H7998 and doH6213 evilH7451 in the sight ofH5869 Yahweh?H3068

20: and saidH0559 SaulH7586 toH0413 Samuel,H8050 Yes,H0834 but I have obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of Yahweh,H3068 and goneH1980 on the missionH1870 on whichH0834 sent meH7971 YahwehH3068 and brought backH0935 -H0853 AgagH0090 kingH4428 of Amalek,H6002 andH0853 the AmalekitesH6002 I have utterly destroyed.H2763

21: But tookH3947 the peopleH5971 of the plunder,H7998 sheepH6629 and oxen,H1241 the bestH7225 of the things which should have been utterly destroyed,H2764 to sacrificeH2076 to YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 in Gilgal.H1537

22: And said,H0559 SamuelH8050 Has [as great] delightH2656 YahwehH3068 in burnt offeringsH5930 and sacrifices,H2077 as in obeyingH8085 the voiceH6963 of Yahweh?H3068 behold,H2009 to obeyH8085 than sacrifice,H2077 is betterH2896 [And] to heedH7181 than the fatH2459 of rams.H0352

23: ForH3588 [as] the sinH2403 of witchcraft,H7081 rebellion [is]H4805 and [as] iniquityH0205 and idolatry.H8655 Stubbornness [is]H6484 becauseH3282 you have rejectedH3988 -H0853 the wordH1697 of Yahweh,H3068 and He has rejected youH3988 from [being] king.H4428

24: And saidH0559 SaulH7586 toH0413 Samuel,H8050 I have sinned-H2398 forH3588 I have transgressedH5674 -H0853 the commandmentH6310 of Yahweh,H3068 andH0853 your words,H1697 becauseH3588 I fearedH3372 -H0853 the people,H5971 and obeyedH8085 their voice.H6963

25: Therefore nowH6258 pardonH5375 please,H4994 -H0853 my sin,H2403 and returnH7725 with meH5973 that I may worshipH7812 Yahweh.H3068

26: But saidH0559 SamuelH8050 toH0413 Saul,H7586 notH3808 I will returnH7725 with youH5973 forH3588 you have rejectedH3988 -H0853 the wordH1697 of Yahweh,H3068 and has rejected youH3988 YahwehH3068 from beingH1961 kingH4428 overH5921 Israel.H3478

27: And as turned aroundH5437 SamuelH8050 to go away,H1980 and [Saul] seizedH2388 the edgeH3671 of his robe,H4598 and it tore.H7167

28: So saidH0559 to himH0413 SamuelH8050 has tornH7167 YahwehH3068 -H0853 the kingdomH4468 of IsraelH3478 from youH5921 today,H3117 and has given itH5414 to a neighbor of yoursH7453 [who is] betterH2896 than you.H4480

29: And alsoH1571 the GloryH5331 of IsraelH3478 notH3808 will lieH8266 norH3808 relent-H5162 forH3588 notH3808 a man,H0120 He [is]H1931 that He should relent.H5162

30: And he said,H0559 I have sinned-H2398 [yet] now,H6258 honor meH3513 please,H4994 beforeH5048 the eldersH2205 of my people,H5971 and beforeH5048 Israel,H3478 and returnH7725 with meH5973 that I may worshipH7812 YahwehH3068 your God.H0430

31: So turned backH7725 SamuelH8050 afterH0310 Saul-H7586 and worshipedH7812 SaulH7586 Yahweh.H3068

32: And saidH0559 Samuel,H8050 bring hereH5066 to meH0413 -H0853 AgagH0090 kingH4428 of the Amalekites.H6002 So cameH1980 to himH0413 AgagH0090 cautiously.H4574 And said,H0559 AgagH0090 surelyH0403 is past.H5493 The bitternessH4751 of death.H4194

33: But said,H0559 SamuelH8050 asH0834 has made childless,H7921 womenH0802 your swordH2719 soH3651 shall be childlessH7921 among women.H0802 Your motherH0517 and hacked in piecesH8158 SamuelH8050 -H0853 AgagH0090 beforeH6440 YahwehH3068 in Gilgal.H1537

34: And wentH1980 SamuelH8050 to Ramah-H7414 and SaulH7586 went upH5927 toH0413 his houseH1004 at GibeahH1390 of Saul.H7586

35: And noH3808 went moreH3254 SamuelH8050 to seeH7200 -H0853 SaulH7586 untilH5704 the dayH3117 of his death-H4194 neverthelessH3588 mournedH0056 SamuelH8050 forH0413 Saul.H7586 And YahwehH3068 regrettedH5162 thatH3588 He had made kingH4427 -H0853 SaulH7586 overH5921 Israel.H3478
