Saul Spares King Agag

1 Samuel also said to Saul, a“The Lord sent me to anoint you king over His people, over Israel. Now therefore, heed the voice of the words of the Lord.  
2 Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, ahow he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt.  
3 Now go and aattack Amalek, and butterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ ”  
4 So Saul gathered the people together and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.
