1 Samuel 15:7-9
Common English Bible
7 Then Saul attacked the Amalekites from Havilah all the way to Shur, which is near Egypt. 8 He captured Agag the Amalekite king alive, but Saul placed all the people under the ban, killing them with the sword. 9 Saul and the troops spared Agag along with the best sheep, cattle, fattened calves,[a] lambs, and everything of value. They weren’t willing to put them under the ban; but anything that was despised or of no value[b] they placed under the ban.
