1 Samuel 15 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 And Samuel said to Saul, "The LORD sent me to anoint you king over his people Israel; now therefore listen to the words of the LORD.
2 Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'I have noted what Amalek did to Israel in opposing them on the way when they came up out of Egypt.
3 Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'"
4 So Saul summoned the people and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand men on foot, and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 And Saul came to the city of Amalek and lay in wait in the valley.
6 Then Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart; go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them. For you showed kindness to all the people of Israel when they came up out of Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
7 And Saul defeated the Amalekites from Havilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt.
8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive and devoted to destruction all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep and of the oxen and of the fattened calves and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them. All that was despised and worthless they devoted to destruction.
10 The word of the LORD came to Samuel:
11 "I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned back from following me and has not performed my commandments." And Samuel was angry, and he cried to the LORD all night.
12 And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning. And it was told Samuel, "Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set up a monument for himself and turned and passed on and went down to Gilgal."
13 And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said to him, "Blessed be you to the LORD. I have performed the commandment of the LORD."
14 And Samuel said, "What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears and the lowing of the oxen that I hear?"
15 Saul said, "They have brought them from the Amalekites, for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen to sacrifice to the LORD your God, and the rest we have devoted to destruction."
16 Then Samuel said to Saul, "Stop! I will tell you what the LORD said to me this night." And he said to him, "Speak."
17 And Samuel said, "Though you are little in your own eyes, are you not the head of the tribes of Israel? The LORD anointed you king over Israel.
18 And the LORD sent you on a mission and said, 'Go, devote to destruction the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.'
19 Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD? Why did you pounce on the spoil and do what was evil in the sight of the LORD?"
20 And Saul said to Samuel, "I have obeyed the voice of the LORD. I have gone on the mission on which the LORD sent me. I have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and I have devoted the Amalekites to destruction.
21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the best of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal."
22 And Samuel said, "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king."
24 Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.
25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin and return with me that I may worship the LORD."
26 And Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you. For you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel."
27 As Samuel turned to go away, Saul seized the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
28 And Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you.
29 And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or have regret, for he is not a man, that he should have regret."
30 Then he said, "I have sinned; yet honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may bow before the LORD your God."
31 So Samuel turned back after Saul, and Saul bowed before the LORD.
32 Then Samuel said, "Bring here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites." And Agag came to him cheerfully. Agag said, "Surely the bitterness of death is past."
33 And Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hacked Agag to pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah of Saul.
35 And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, but Samuel grieved over Saul. And the LORD regretted that he had made Saul king over Israel.
1 Samuel H8050 also said H559 unto H413 Saul, H7586 The LORD H3068 sent H7971 me to anoint H4886 thee to be king H4428 over H5921 his people, H5971 over H5921 Israel: H3478 now H6258 therefore hearken H8085 thou unto the voice H6963 of the words H1697 of the LORD. H3068
2 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 I remember H6485 that H853 which H834 Amalek H6002 did H6213 to Israel, H3478 how H834 he laid H7760 wait for him in the way, H1870 when he came up H5927 from Egypt H4480 H4714 .
3 Now H6258 go H1980 and smite H5221 H853 Amalek, H6002 and utterly destroy H2763 H853 all H3605 that H834 they have , and spare H2550 H5921 them not; H3808 but slay H4191 both man H4480 H376 and H5704 woman, H802 infant H4480 H5768 and suckling, H3243 ox H4480 H7794 and sheep, H7716 camel H4480 H1581 and ass. H2543
4 And Saul H7586 gathered the people together H8085 H853 H5971 , and numbered H6485 them in Telaim, H2923 two hundred H3967 thousand H505 footmen, H7273 and ten H6235 thousand H505 H853 men H376 of Judah. H3063
5 And Saul H7586 came H935 to H5704 a city H5892 of Amalek, H6002 and laid wait H693 in the valley. H5158
6 And Saul H7586 said H559 unto H413 the Kenites, H7017 Go, H1980 depart, H5493 get you down H3381 from among H4480 H8432 the Amalekites, H6002 lest H6435 I destroy H622 you with H5973 them : for ye H859 showed H6213 kindness H2617 to H5973 all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 when they came up H5927 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 . So the Kenites H7017 departed H5493 from among H4480 H8432 the Amalekites. H6003
7 And Saul H7586 smote H5221 H853 the Amalekites H6002 from Havilah H4480 H2341 until thou comest H935 to Shur, H7793 that H834 is over H5921 against H6440 Egypt. H4714
8 And he took H8610 H853 Agag H90 the king H4428 of the Amalekites H6002 alive, H2416 and utterly destroyed H2763 all H3605 the people H5971 with the edge H6310 of the sword. H2719
9 But Saul H7586 and the people H5971 spared H2550 H5921 Agag, H90 and the best H4315 of the sheep, H6629 and of the oxen, H1241 and of the fatlings, H4932 and the lambs, H3733 and all H3605 that was good, H2896 and would H14 not H3808 utterly destroy H2763 them : but every H3605 thing H4399 that was vile H5240 and refuse, H4549 that they destroyed utterly. H2763
10 Then came H1961 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 unto H413 Samuel, H8050 saying, H559
11 It repenteth me H5162 that H3588 I have set up H4427 H853 Saul H7586 to be king: H4428 for H3588 he is turned back H7725 from following H4480 H310 me , and hath not H3808 performed H6965 my commandments. H1697 And it grieved H2734 Samuel; H8050 and he cried H2199 unto H413 the LORD H3068 all H3605 night. H3915
12 And when Samuel H8050 rose early H7925 to meet H7125 Saul H7586 in the morning, H1242 it was told H5046 Samuel, H8050 saying, H559 Saul H7586 came H935 to Carmel, H3760 and, behold, H2009 he set him up H5324 a place, H3027 and is gone about, H5437 and passed on, H5674 and gone down H3381 to Gilgal. H1537
13 And Samuel H8050 came H935 to H413 Saul: H7586 and Saul H7586 said H559 unto him, Blessed H1288 be thou H859 of the LORD: H3068 I have performed H6965 H853 the commandment H1697 of the LORD. H3068
14 And Samuel H8050 said, H559 What H4100 meaneth then this H2088 bleating H6963 of the sheep H6629 in mine ears, H241 and the lowing H6963 of the oxen H1241 which H834 I H595 hear H8085 ?
15 And Saul H7586 said, H559 They have brought H935 them from the Amalekites H4480 H6003 : for H834 the people H5971 spared H2550 H5921 the best H4315 of the sheep H6629 and of the oxen, H1241 to sacrifice H4616 H2076 unto the LORD H3068 thy God; H430 and the rest H3498 we have utterly destroyed. H2763
16 Then Samuel H8050 said H559 unto H413 Saul, H7586 Stay, H7503 and I will tell H5046 thee H853 what H834 the LORD H3068 hath said H1696 to H413 me this night. H3915 And he said H559 unto him , Say on. H1696
17 And Samuel H8050 said, H559 When H518 thou H859 wast little H6996 in thine own sight, H5869 wast thou H859 not H3808 made the head H7218 of the tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 and the LORD H3068 anointed H4886 thee king H4428 over H5921 Israel H3478 ?
18 And the LORD H3068 sent H7971 thee on a journey, H1870 and said, H559 Go H1980 and utterly destroy H2763 H853 the sinners H2400 H853 the Amalekites, H6002 and fight H3898 against them until H5704 they be consumed. H3615
19 Wherefore H4100 then didst thou not H3808 obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD, H3068 but didst fly H5860 upon H413 the spoil, H7998 and didst H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 ?
20 And Saul H7586 said H559 unto H413 Samuel, H8050 Yea, H834 I have obeyed H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD, H3068 and have gone H1980 the way H1870 which H834 the LORD H3068 sent H7971 me , and have brought H935 H853 Agag H90 the king H4428 of Amalek, H6002 and have utterly destroyed H2763 the Amalekites. H6002
21 But the people H5971 took H3947 of the spoil H4480 H7998 , sheep H6629 and oxen, H1241 the chief H7225 of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, H2764 to sacrifice H2076 unto the LORD H3068 thy God H430 in Gilgal. H1537
22 And Samuel H8050 said, H559 Hath the LORD H3068 as great delight H2656 in burnt offerings H5930 and sacrifices, H2077 as in obeying H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 ? Behold, H2009 to obey H8085 is better H2896 than sacrifice H4480 H2077 , and to hearken H7181 than the fat H4480 H2459 of rams. H352
23 For H3588 rebellion H4805 is as the sin H2403 of witchcraft, H7081 and stubbornness H6484 is as iniquity H205 and idolatry. H8655 Because H3282 thou hast rejected H3988 H853 the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 he hath also rejected H3988 thee from being king H4480 H4428 .
24 And Saul H7586 said H559 unto H413 Samuel, H8050 I have sinned: H2398 for H3588 I have transgressed H5674 H853 the commandment H6310 of the LORD, H3068 and thy words: H1697 because H3588 I feared H3372 H853 the people, H5971 and obeyed H8085 their voice. H6963
25 Now H6258 therefore , I pray thee, H4994 pardon H5375 H853 my sin, H2403 and turn again H7725 with H5973 me , that I may worship H7812 the LORD. H3068
26 And Samuel H8050 said H559 unto H413 Saul, H7586 I will not H3808 return H7725 with H5973 thee: for H3588 thou hast rejected H3988 H853 the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 and the LORD H3068 hath rejected H3988 thee from being H4480 H1961 king H4428 over H5921 Israel. H3478
27 And as Samuel H8050 turned about H5437 to go away, H1980 he laid hold H2388 upon the skirt H3671 of his mantle, H4598 and it rent. H7167
28 And Samuel H8050 said H559 unto H413 him , The LORD H3068 hath rent H7167 H853 the kingdom H4468 of Israel H3478 from H4480 H5921 thee this day, H3117 and hath given H5414 it to a neighbor H7453 of thine, that is better H2896 than H4480 thou.
29 And also H1571 the Strength H5331 of Israel H3478 will not H3808 lie H8266 nor H3808 repent: H5162 for H3588 he is not H3808 a man, H120 that he H1931 should repent. H5162
30 Then he said, H559 I have sinned: H2398 yet honor H3513 me now, H6258 I pray thee, H4994 before H5048 the elders H2205 of my people, H5971 and before H5048 Israel, H3478 and turn again H7725 with H5973 me , that I may worship H7812 the LORD H3068 thy God. H430
31 So Samuel H8050 turned again H7725 after H310 Saul; H7586 and Saul H7586 worshiped H7812 the LORD. H3068
32 Then said H559 Samuel, H8050 Bring ye hither H5066 to H413 me H853 Agag H90 the king H4428 of the Amalekites. H6002 And Agag H90 came H1980 unto H413 him delicately. H4574 And Agag H90 said, H559 Surely H403 the bitterness H4751 of death H4194 is past. H5493
33 And Samuel H8050 said, H559 As H834 thy sword H2719 hath made women H802 childless, H7921 so H3651 shall thy mother H517 be childless H7921 among women H4480 H802 . And Samuel H8050 hewed Agag in pieces H8158 H853 H90 before H6440 the LORD H3068 in Gilgal. H1537
34 Then Samuel H8050 went H1980 to Ramah; H7414 and Saul H7586 went up H5927 to H413 his house H1004 to Gibeah H1390 of Saul. H7586
35 And Samuel H8050 came no H3808 more H3254 to see H7200 H853 Saul H7586 until H5704 the day H3117 of his death: H4194 nevertheless H3588 Samuel H8050 mourned H56 for H413 Saul: H7586 and the LORD H3068 repented H5162 that H3588 he had made Saul king H4427 H853 H7586 over H5921 Israel. H3478
