7 aAnd Saul attacked the Amalekites, from bHavilah all the way to cShur, which is east of Egypt.
8 aHe also took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and butterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 But Saul and the people aspared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed.
Saul Rejected as King
10 Now the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying,
11 a“I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has bturned back from following Me, cand has not performed My commandments.” And it dgrieved Samuel, and he cried out to the Lord all night.
12 So when Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul, it was told Samuel, saying, “Saul went to aCarmel, and indeed, he set up a monument for himself; and he has gone on around, passed by, and gone down to Gilgal.”
13 Then Samuel went to Saul, and Saul said to him, a“Blessed are you of the Lord! I have performed the commandment of the Lord.”
