- 1 Samuel 15:2-3, 7-8, 32-33
- Thus saith the LORD of hosts ... 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. (vv.2-3)
And Saul smote the Amalekites ... And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people
with the edge of the sword. (vv.7-8)
Then said Samuel, 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. And Samuel said, As the sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless
among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal. (vv.32-33)
