1 Samuel 15 — Context

7

Then Saul struck down the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to Shur, which is next to Egypt.

8

He captured King Agag of the Amalekites alive, but he executed all Agag’s people with the sword.

9

However, Saul and the army spared Agag, along with the best of the flock, the cattle, the fatlings, and the lambs, as well as everything else that was of value. They were not willing to slaughter them. But they did slaughter everything that was despised and worthless.

10

Then the LORD’s message came to Samuel:

11

“I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned away from me and has not done what I told him to do.” Samuel became angry and he cried out to the LORD all that night.

12

Then Samuel got up early to meet Saul the next morning. But Samuel was informed,“Saul has gone to Carmel where he is setting up a monument for himself.” Then Samuel left and went down to Gilgal.

13

When Samuel came to Saul, Saul said to him,“May the LORD bless you! I have fulfilled the LORD’s orders.”
