1 Samuel 15:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 Saul went to the city of Amalek and set up an ambush in the valley.
6 Saul said to the Kenites, “Go away, leave the Amalekites, so that I not destroy you along with them. You were kind to all of the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.[a]
7 Saul then struck down the Amalekites from Havilah down to Shur which lies to the east of Egypt.
