1 Samuel 15:2-4
New Century Version
2 This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: ‘When the Israelites came out of Egypt, the Amalekites tried to stop them from going to Canaan. So I will punish them. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and destroy everything they own as an offering to the Lord. Don’t let anything live. Put to death men and women, children and small babies, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
4 So Saul called the army together at Telaim. There were two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men from Judah.
