Chapter 15
Samuel
also
saide
vnto
Saul,
The
Lord
sent
me
to
annoint
thee
to
bee
king
ouer
his
people,
ouer
Israel:
nowe
therefore
hearken
thou
vnto
the
voyce
of
the
words
of
the
Lord.
2
Thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts,
I
remember
that
which
Amalek
did
to
Israel,
how
he
laid
wait
for
him
in
the
way
when
he
came
vp
from
Egypt.
3
Now
goe,
and
smite
Amalek,
and
vtterly
destroy
all
that
they
haue,
and
spare
them
not;
but
slay
both
man
and
woman,
infant
and
suckling,
oxe
and
sheepe,
camell
and
asse.
4
And
Saul
gathered
the
people
together,
and
numbred
them
in
Telaim,
two
hundred
thousand
footmen,
and
ten
thousand
men
of
Iudah.
5
And
Saul
came
to
a
citie
of
Amalek,
and
laid
waite
in
the
valley.
6
And
Saul
saide
vnto
the
Kenites,
Goe,
depart,
get
you
downe
from
among
the
Amalekites,
lest
I
destroy
you
with
them:
for
yee
shewed
kindnesse
to
all
the
children
of
Israel
when
they
came
vp
out
of
Egypt.
So
the
Kenites
departed
from
among
the
Amalekites.
7
And
Saul
smote
the
Amalekites
from
Hauilah,
vntill
thou
commest
to
Shur,
that
is
ouer
against
Egypt.
8
And
hee
tooke
Agag
the
king
of
the
Amalekites
aliue,
and
vtterly
destroyed
all
the
people
with
the
edge
of
the
sword.
9
But
Saul
and
the
people
spared
Agag,
and
the
best
of
the
sheepe,
and
of
the
oxen,
and
of
the
fatlings,
and
the
lambes,
and
all
that
was
good,
and
would
not
vtterly
destroy
them:
but
euery
thing
that
was
vile,
and
refuse,
that
they
destroyed
vtterly.
10
Then
came
the
word
of
the
Lord
vnto
Samuel,
saying;
11
It
repenteth
me
that
I
haue
set
vp
Saul
to
be
king:
for
hee
is
turned
backe
from
following
me,
and
hath
not
performed
my
commandements.
And
it
grieued
Samuel;
and
he
cried
vnto
the
Lord
all
night.
12
And
when
Samuel
rose
early
to
meet
Saul
in
the
morning,
it
was
tolde
Samuel,
saying,
Saul
came
to
Carmel,
and
behold,
he
set
him
vp
a
place,
and
is
gone
about,
and
passed
on,
and
gone
downe
to
Gilgal.
13
And
Samuel
came
to
Saul,
and
Saul
said
vnto
him,
Blessed
be
thou
of
the
Lord:
I
haue
performed
the
commandement
of
the
Lord.
14
And
Samuel
said,
What
meaneth
then
this
bleating
of
the
sheepe
in
mine
eares,
and
the
lowing
of
the
oxen
which
I
heare?
15
And
Saul
sayde,
They
haue
brought
them
from
the
Amalekites:
for
the
people
spared
the
best
of
the
sheepe,
and
of
the
oxen,
to
sacrifice
vnto
the
Lord
thy
God,
and
the
rest
we
haue
vtterly
destroyed.
16
Then
Samuel
sayd
vnto
Saul,
Stay,
and
I
will
tell
thee
what
the
Lord
hath
said
to
mee
this
night.
And
he
said
vnto
him,
Say
on.
17
And
Samuel
said,
When
thou
wast
litle
in
thine
owne
sight,
wast
thou
not
made
the
Head
of
the
tribes
of
Israel,
and
the
Lord
anointed
thee
King
ouer
Israel?
18
And
the
Lord
sent
thee
on
a
iourney,
and
said,
Goe,
and
vtterly
destroy
the
sinners
the
Amalekites,
and
fight
against
them,
vntill
they
be
consumed.
19
Wherefore
then
didst
thou
not
obey
the
voice
of
the
Lord,
but
didst
flie
vpon
the
spoile,
and
didst
euill
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord?
20
And
Saul
said
vnto
Samuel;
Yea,
I
haue
obeyed
the
voice
of
the
Lord,
and
haue
gone
the
way
which
the
Lord
sent
me,
and
haue
brought
Agag
the
king
of
Amalek,
and
haue
vtterly
destroyed
the
Amalekites.
21
But
the
people
tooke
of
the
spoile,
sheepe
and
oxen,
the
chiefe
of
the
things
which
should
haue
bene
vtterly
destroyed,
to
sacrifice
vnto
the
Lord
thy
God
in
Gilgal.
22
And
Samuel
saide,
Hath
the
Lord
as
great
delight
in
burnt
offerings
and
sacrifices,
as
in
obeying
the
voice
of
the
Lord?
Behold,
to
obey,
is
better
then
sacrifice:
and
to
hearken,
then
the
fat
of
rammes.
23
For
rebellion
is
as
the
sin
of
witchcraft,
and
stubburnnesse
is
as
iniquitie
and
idolatrie:
because
thou
hast
reiected
the
word
of
the
Lord,
he
hath
also
reiected
thee
from
being
king.
24
And
Saul
said
vnto
Samuel,
I
haue
sinned:
for
I
haue
transgressed
the
Commandement
of
the
Lord,
and
thy
wordes;
because
I
feared
the
people,
and
obeyed
their
voice.
25
Now
therefore,
I
pray
thee,
pardon
my
sinne,
and
turne
againe
with
me,
that
I
may
worship
the
Lord.
26
And
Samuel
said
vnto
Saul,
I
will
not
returne
with
thee:
for
thou
hast
reiected
the
word
of
the
Lord,
and
the
Lord
hath
reiected
thee
from
being
king
ouer
Israel.
27
And
as
Samuel
turned
about
to
goe
away,
he
laid
hold
vpon
the
skirt
of
his
mantle,
and
it
rent.
28
And
Samuel
said
vnto
him,
The
Lord
hath
rent
the
kingdome
of
Israel
from
thee
this
day,
and
hath
giuen
it
to
a
neighbour
of
thine,
that
is
better
then
thou.
29
And
also
the
strength
of
Israel
will
not
lie,
nor
repent:
for
he
is
not
a
man
that
he
should
repent.
30
Then
he
said,
I
haue
sinned;
yet
honour
me
now,
I
pray
thee,
before
the
Elders
of
my
people,
and
before
Israel,
and
turne
againe
with
me,
that
I
may
worship
the
Lord
thy
God.
31
So
Samuel
turned
againe
after
Saul,
and
Saul
worshipped
the
Lord.
32
Then
said
Samuel,
Bring
you
hither
to
me
Agag
the
king
of
the
Amalekites:
and
Agag
came
vnto
him
delicately.
And
Agag
said,
Surely
the
bitternesse
of
death
is
past.
33
And
Samuel
said,
As
thy
sword
hath
made
women
childlesse,
so
shall
thy
mother
bee
childlesse
among
women.
And
Samuel
hewed
Agag
in
pieces
before
the
Lord
in
Gilgal.
34
Then
Samuel
went
to
Ramah,
and
Saul
went
vp
to
his
house
to
Gibeah
of
Saul.
35
And
Samuel
came
no
more
to
see
Saul
vntill
the
day
of
his
death:
neuerthelesse,
Samuel
mourned
for
Saul:
and
the
Lord
repented
that
he
had
made
Saul
king
ouer
Israel.
