Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Thus sayth the Lorde of hostes: I remembre that whych Amaleck dyd to Israel howe they layed wayte for them in the waye, as they came out of Egypte. ³ Nowe therfore go, & smyte Amaleck, and destroye ye all that pertayneth vnto them, & se thou haue no compassyon on them slaye both man & woman, infant & sucklynge. oxe, and shepe, camell and Asse. ⁴ And Saul gathered the people together, & nombred them in Telaim, two hundred thousande foote men, and ten thousande men of Iuda. ⁵ And Saul came vnto a cytie of Amaleck, & set watche in the valeye. ⁶ And Saul sayde vnto the kenites: go, & departe, & gett you downe from amonge the Amaleckites, lest I destroye you with them: for ye shewed mercy to all the children of Israell, when they came out of Egypt. And so the kenites departed from amonge the Amaleckites. ⁷ And Saul smote the Amaleckites from Heuila, as thou commest to Sur, that lyeth before Egypt, ⁸ and toke Agag the kinge of the Amaleckites alyue, & vtterlye destroyed all the people with the edge of the swerde. ⁹ But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the better shepe, & the fatter oxen, & the lambes, and all that was good, & wolde not destroye them. But all that was foule & naught worth, that they destroyed vtterlye.
