¹ Samuel said to Saul, the Lord sent me to anoint thee king over Israel; now therefore hearken to the voice of the Lord. ² Thus saith the Lord of Sabbaoth, Now will I take vengeance on Amelek, for the things which he did to Israel when he opposed them in the way, as they were coming up out of Egypt. ³ Now therefore go, and smite Amelek, and Jerim, and all that belong to him. Thou shalt not spare one of him but utterly destroy him. Having devoted him and all belonging to him to destruction, thou shalt spare none, but shalt slay man and woman, infant and suckling, herds and flocks, camels and asses. ⁴ Thereupon Saul assembled the people, and reviewed them at Galgal, four hundred thousand men of array, particularly of Juda thirty thousand men of array. ⁵ And when Saul came to the cities of Amelek, he laid an ambush in the valley. ⁶ And Saul said to the Kinites, Away, remove from among the Amelekites. I must not join you with them, for you dealt kindly with the Israelites when they were coming up out of Egypt. And when the Kinites had removed from among the Amelekites, ⁷ Saul smote Amelek from Evilat to Sur in front of Egypt; ⁸ and took Agag the king of Amelek alive. When he had slain all the people and Jerim with the edge of the sword, ⁹ Saul and all the people saved Agag alive, and spared the best of the flocks, and the herds, and provisions, and vineyards, and all that was good; and would not destroy them, but destroyed only what was of no estimation or of little value. ¹⁰ Wherefore a word of the Lord came to Samuel saying, ¹¹ Have I had comfort for making Saul king? For he hath turned away from following me, and hath not observed my orders. Thereupon Samuel was grieved, and cried to the Lord that whole night. ¹² And Samuel arose early, and went to meet Israel in the morning. Now it had been told Saul, that Samuel had gone to Karmel and erected a hand for himself. But he turned his chariot, and went down to Galgal to Saul, and behold he was offering up as a whole burnt offering to the Lord the prime of the spoils which he had brought out of Amelek. ¹³ And when Samuel came to Saul, Saul said to him, Blessed art thou of the Lord. I have performed all that the Lord hath spoken. ¹⁴ Whereupon Samuel said, But what bleating of flocks is this in my ears? and what is this lowing of cattle which I hear? ¹⁵ And Saul said, I have brought out of Amelek such as the people spared, the best of the flocks, and the herds, that they may be sacrificed to the Lord thy God; but the rest I have utterly destroyed. ¹⁶ And Samuel said, Permit me to tell thee what the lord said to me last night. And he said to him, Speak. ¹⁷ Then Samuel said to Saul, Wast thou not in his sight a little leader of a family of a tribe of Israel? yet the Lord anointed thee to be king over Israel; ¹⁸ and the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said to thee, Go and destroy utterly. Thou shalt slay those who have sinned against me; namely Amelek; and thou shalt fight against them until thou hast totally destroyed them. ¹⁹ Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of the Lord, but rush upon the spoil, and do evil in the sight of the Lord? ²⁰ And Saul said to Samuel, Because I hearkened to the voice of the people. But I have gone the way which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag king of Amelek, and utterly destroyed Amelek, ²¹ and the people have taken of the spoils, flocks and herds, as first fruits of the destruction, to sacrifice them before the Lord our God, at Galgal. ²² And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in whole burnt offerings, and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold obedience is better than good sacrifice; and to hearken, is better than the fat of rams. ²³ Because divination is a sin, the consulting Theraphin bringeth sorrow and distress: because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, therefore the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. ²⁴ Then Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the word of the Lord, and thy orders, because I feared the people and hearkened to their voice. ²⁵ Now therefore bear away my sin, I beseech thee, and return with me that I may worship the Lord thy God. ²⁶ And Samuel said to Saul, I cannot return with thee. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, therefore the Lord will reject thee from being king over Israel. ²⁷ And when Samuel turned his face to go away, Saul took hold of the skirt of his mantle, and rent it. ²⁸ Thereupon Samuel said to him, The Lord hath rent thy regal government from Israel, this day, out of thy hand, and will give it to a neighbour of thine, who is better than thou, ²⁹ and Israel shall be rent in twain. He will not change, nor alter his mind, for he is not a man, that he should change his mind. ³⁰ Then Saul said, I have sinned; but honour me, I beseech thee, in the presence of the elders of Israel, and before my people, and return up with me, that I may worship the Lord thy God. ³¹ So Samuel returned up after Saul, and when he had worshipped the Lord, ³² Samuel said, Bring before me Agag the king of Amelek. And when Agag came before him, trembling, Agag said, Ah! how bitter is death! ³³ Whereupon Samuel said to Agag, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be made childless among women. So Samuel slew Agag before the Lord at Galgal. ³⁴ Then Samuel went to Armathaim, and Saul went up to his house to Gabaa, ³⁵ and Samuel came no more to see Saul to the day of his death. Because Samuel mourned for Saul, and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king over Israel,

¹ But David spoke in his heart, saying, I may one day fall into the hands of Saul. Is it not best for me to make my escape to the land of the Philistines, so that Saul may cease from seeking me in the borders of Israel? So shall I escape out of his hand. ² So David arose, and the six hundred men with him, and went to Angchus, son of Ammach, king of Geth. ³ And David abode with Angchus, both he and his men, every one with his household, and David with his two wives, Achinaam the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia late the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. ⁴ And when Saul was informed that David had fled to Geth, he did not proceed any more to seek him. ⁵ Now David had said to Angchus, If thy servant hath found favour in thy sight, let a place, I pray thee, be given me in one of thy cities, in the country, and I will settle there. For why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee? ⁶ So he gave him on that day Sekelak; for this cause Sekelak belongeth to the king of Juda to this day. ⁷ Now the time that David had dwelt in the country of the Philistines was four months, ⁸ when David went up with his men, and they fell upon all the Geserites, and upon the Amelekites. [Now this country was inhabited by wandering hordes, excepting those who had fixed abodes from Gelampsur to the land of Egypt.] ⁹ And when he smote the land he saved neither man nor woman alive; but he took their flocks, and herds, and asses, and camels, and raiment, and returned, and came to Angchus. ¹⁰ And when Angchus said to David, Upon whom have you fallen? David said to Angchus, Towards the south of Judea, and towards the south of Jesmega, and towards the south of Kenezi. ¹¹ But I saved neither man nor woman to bring them to Geth, saying, They must not carry tidings against us to Geth; and say, Such and such things doth David. And this was his custom all the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines. ¹² And David was in high confidence with Angchus, who said, He is surely in great disgrace with his people in Israel, therefore he must be my servant forever.

¹ But when David and his men arrived at Sekelak, on the third day, Amelek had invaded the South, and Sekelak, and had smitten Sekelak. Though they had burned it with fire, ² yet with regard to the women, and all who were in it, they had not slain a man, or a woman, small or great, but had taken them captive, and marched off. ³ So when David and his men came to the city, and saw that it was burned with fire, and that their wives, and their sons, and their daughters were taken captive, ⁴ David and his men raised their voices, and wept till they had no more power to weep. ⁵ Now both David's wives were taken captive; both Achinaam the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia, the wife of Nabal, the Carmelite. ⁶ And David was in great distress, for the people talked of stoning him; for the soul of all the people was exasperated, every one for his sons, and his daughters. David, however, was strengthened by the Lord his God. ⁷ And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Abimelech, Bring hither the ephod. ⁸ And David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue this horde? Shall I overtake them? And he said to him, Pursue, for thou shalt overly take them and without fail rescue. ⁹ Then David set out, he and the six hundred men who were with him; and when they came to the brook Bosor, the reserve halted. ¹⁰ He pursued with four hundred men, and two hundred, who halted on the bank of the brook Bosor, guarded the baggage. ¹¹ And they found an Egyptian in the field, and took him, and brought him to David, and they gave him bread, and he ate, and they gave him water to drink. ¹² Then they gave him a piece of fig cake, and when he had eaten, and his spirit was come to him; for he had not tasted bread, nor drank water for three days and three nights, ¹³ David said to him, To whom dost thou belong, and whence art thou? And the Egyptian lad said, I am a servant of a man, an Amelekite. My master left me because I fell sick three days ago. ¹⁴ We made an invasion on the south of the Chelethites, and on those parts of Judea, and on the south of Chelub, and we burned Sekelak with fire. ¹⁵ Then David said to him, Wilt thou conduct me to this horde? And he said, Swear to me now by God, that thou wilt not put me to death nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will conduct thee to the horde. ¹⁶ So he conducted him thither, and behold they were spread abroad on the face of the whole land, eating and drinking, and celebrating a festival, for all the great spoil which they had taken from the country of the Philistines, and from the land of Judea. ¹⁷ And David came upon them, and smote them, from break of day till late in the evening, and part of the next day, so that not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who mounted camels and fled. ¹⁸ And David recovered all that the Amelekites had taken. He recovered also his two wives. ¹⁹ There was none missing among them, small or great, nor any of the spoils, nor sons nor daughters, nor any thing of what they had taken. David recovered all. ²⁰ He took also all their flocks, and herds, and drove them before the spoils. And of this prey it was said, These are David's prey. ²¹ And when David came to the two hundred that were left to follow David, and whom he had caused to halt by the brook Bosor, they came out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. But when David introduced them to the people, and they had saluted them; ²² all the turbulent and bad men among the warriors, who went with David, answered and said, Because they did not accompany us in the pursuit we will not give them any of the spoils which we have taken, save that every one may take his wife and children. Let them take these and depart. ²³ But David said, You must not do so, since the Lord hath given them to us and preserved us. The Lord indeed hath delivered into our hands this wandering horde, which came against us, ²⁴ who then will hearken to your words? For these are not less entitled to them than we are. For as is the share of him who goeth down to the battle, so shall be the share of him who guardeth the baggage. They shall all share alike. ²⁵ So from that day forward this was the rule, and it became a statute, and an established custom in Israel even to this day. ²⁶ And when David came to Sekelak, he sent some of the spoils to the elders of Juda, and to his friends, saying, Here are some of the spoils of the enemies of the Lord ²⁷ for those at Baithsur, and for those at South Bama, and for those at Gethor, ²⁸ and for those at Aroer, and for those at Ammadi, and for those at Saphi, and for those at Esthie, and for those at Geth, and for those at Kimath, and for those at Saphek, and for those at Themath, ²⁹ and for those at Carmel, and for those in the cities of Jeremeel, and for those in the cities of the Kenezites, ³⁰ and for those at Jerimuth, and for those at Bersabee, and for those at Nomba, ³¹ and for those at Chebron, even all the places through which David and his men had passed.

² and there came some who told Josaphat saying, There is a great multitude coming against thee from beyond the sea, bordering on Syria, and behold they are at Asasan Thamar, which is Engaddi.
