1 Samuel 15:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² This is what the Lord of heaven’s armies says: ‘The Israelites came out of Egypt. But the Amalekites tried to stop them from going to Canaan. I saw what they did. ³ Now go, attack the Amalekites. Destroy everything that belongs to them as an offering to the Lord. Don’t let anything live. Put to death men and women, children and small babies. Kill the cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

⁴ So Saul called the army together at Telaim. There were 200,000 soldiers and 10,000 men from Judah.
