1 Samuel 15:1-3

International Standard Version

Saul Disobeys the Lord

15 Samuel told Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you king over his people, Israel. Now listen to the words^[a] of the Lord. ² This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says: ‘I’ll punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, when he set himself against Israel^[b] in the way, as they were going up from Egypt. ³ Now, go and attack Amalek. Completely destroy^[c] all that they have. Don’t spare them, but put to death both man and woman, child and infant, both ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”
