The Lordtold me to choose you to be king of his people, Israel. Now listen to this message from the Lord: 2 Ex 17.8-14;Dt 25.17-19."When the Israelites were on their way out of Egypt, the nation of Amalekattacked them. I am the LordAll-Powerful, and now I am going to make Amalekpay!
3 "Go and attack the Amalekites! Destroy them and all their possessions. Don’t have any pity. Kill their men, women, children, and even their babies. Slaughter their cattle, sheep, camels, and donkeys."
4 Saulsent messengers who told every town and village to send men to join the army at Telaim. There were 210,000 troops in all, and 10,000 of these were from Judah. Saulorganized them, 5 then led them to a valley near one of the towns in15.5 one … in: Or "the town of."Amalek, where they got ready to make a surprise attack. 6 Some Kenites lived nearby, and Saultold them, "Your people were kind to our nation when we left Egypt, and I don’t want you to get killed when I wipe out the Amalekites. So stay away from them."
The Kenites left, 7 and Saulattacked the Amalekites from Havilah15.7 from Havilah: Or "from the valley" (see 15.5).to Shur, which is just east of Egypt. 8 Every Amalekitewas killed except King Agag. 9 Sauland his army let Agaglive, and they also spared the best sheep and cattle. They didn’t want to destroy anything of value, so they only killed the animals that were worthless or weak.15.9 animals … weak: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
The Lord Rejects Saul
10 The Lordtold Samuel, 11 "Saulhas stopped obeying me, and I’m sorry that I made him king."
Samuelwas angry, and he cried out in prayer to the Lordall night. 12 Early the next morning he went to talk with Saul. Someone told him, "Saulwent to Carmel, where he had a monument built so everyone would remember his victory. Then he left for Gilgal."
13 Samuelfinally caught up with Saul,15.13 Saul: One ancient translation adds "Saul had sacrificed to the Lord the best animals they had taken from Amalek, when Samuel came up to him."and Saultold him, "I hope the Lordwill bless you! I have done what the Lordtold me."
14 "Then why," Samuelasked, "do I hear sheep and cattle?"
15 "The army took them from the Amalekites," Saulexplained. "They kept the best sheep and cattle, so they could sacrifice them to the Lordyour God. But we destroyed everything else."
16 "Stop!" Samuelsaid. "Let me tell you what the Lordtold me last night."
"All right," Saulanswered.
17 Samuelcontinued, "You may not think you’re very important, but the Lordchose you to be king, and you are in charge of the tribes of Israel. 18 When the Lordsent you on this mission, he told you to wipe out those worthless Amalekites. 19 Why didn’t you listen to the Lord? Why did you keep the animals and make him angry?"
20 "But I did listen to the Lord!" Saulanswered. "He sent me on a mission, and I went. I captured King Agagand destroyed his nation. 21 All the animals were going to be destroyed15.21 animals … destroyed: The Hebrew means things that were set aside for God. They could not be used for anything else, so they had to be destroyed.anyway. That’s why the army brought the best sheep and cattle to Gilgalas sacrifices to the Lordyour God."
22 "Tell me," Samuelsaid. "Does the Lordreally want sacrifices and offerings? No! He doesn’t want your sacrifices. He wants you to obey him. 23 Rebelling against God or disobeying him because you are proud is just as bad as worshiping idols or asking them for advice. You refused to do what God told you, so God has decided that you can no longer be king."
24 "I have sinned," Sauladmitted. "I disobeyed both you and the Lord. I was afraid of the army, and I listened to them instead. 25 Please forgive me and come back with me so I can worship the Lord."
26 "No!" Samuelreplied, "You disobeyed the Lord, and I won’t go back with you. Now the Lordhas said that you can’t be king of Israel any longer."
27 1 S 28.17;1 K 11.30,31.As Samuelturned to go, Saul grabbed the edge of Samuel’s robe. It tore! 28 Samuelsaid, "The Lordhas torn the kingdom of Israel away from you today, and he will give it to someone who is better than you. 29 Besides, the eternal15.29 eternal: Or "glorious."God of Israel isn’t a human being. He doesn’t tell lies or change his mind."
30 Saul said, "I did sin, but please honor me in front of the leaders of the army and the people of Israel. Come back with me, so I can worship the Lordyour God."
31 Samuelfollowed Saulback, and Saulworshiped the Lord. 32 Then Samuelshouted, "Bring me King Agagof Amalek!"
Agagcame in chains,15.32 in chains: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.and he was saying to himself, "Surely they won’t kill me now."15.32 Surely … now: Hebrew; one ancient translation "It would have been better to die in battle!"
33 But Samuelsaid, "Agag, you have snatched children from their mothers' arms and killed them. Now your mother will be without children." Then Samuelchopped Agagto pieces at the place of worship in Gilgal.
34 Samuelwent home to Ramah, and Saulreturned to his home in Gibeah. 35 Even though Samuelfelt sad about Saul, Samuelnever saw him again.
