1 Samuel 15:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ Then Saul defeated the Amalekites. He fought them all the way from Havilah to Shur, at the border of Egypt. ⁸ He took Agag king of the Amalekites alive. But he killed all of Agag’s army with the sword. ⁹ But Saul and the army let Agag live. They also let the best sheep, fat cattle and lambs live. They let every good animal live. They did not want to destroy them. But when they found an animal that was weak or useless, they killed it.
