Shmuel Alef 15:9-11
Orthodox Jewish Bible
9 But Sha’ul and HaAm spared Agag, and the best of the tzon, and of the bakar, and of the fat bulls, and the fat sheep, and all that was tov, and would not utterly destroy them; but everything that was despised and worthless, that they destroyed with utter cherem destruction.
10 Then came the Devar Hashem unto Shmuel, saying,
11 I greatly regret and relent and reconsider that I have set up Sha’ul to be Melech; for he is turned back from following Me, and hath not performed My Devar. And it grieved Shmuel; and he cried out unto Hashem kol halailah.

9 But Saul and the army spared(A) Agag and the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves[a] and lambs—everything that was good. These they were unwilling to destroy completely, but everything that was despised and weak they totally destroyed.
10 Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel: 11 “I regret(B) that I have made Saul king, because he has turned(C) away from me and has not carried out my instructions.”(D) Samuel was angry,(E) and he cried out to the Lord all that night.
