1 Samuel 15:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Saul said to the Kenites, “Go! Leave! Withdraw from among the Amalekites, or I will destroy you with them; for you showed kindness to all the people of Israel when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites withdrew from the Amalekites. ⁷ Saul defeated the Amalekites, from Havilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt. ⁸ He took King Agag of the Amalekites alive, but utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
