1 Samuel 15:32-34
The Voice
Samuel: 32 Bring me Agag, king of the Amalekites.
Agag was led to him, being cautiously optimistic that the worst was surely past.
Samuel: 33 Just as your sword has taken children from women, so will this sword make your mother a childless woman.
So Samuel chopped Agag into pieces before the Eternal One at Gilgal. 34 Then Samuel went back to Ramah, and Saul returned to his house in Gibeah of Saul.

“As your sword has made women childless,
so will your mother be childless among women.”(A)
