7And Saul smote the Amalekites from Hauilah, vntill thou commest to Shur, that is ouer against Egypt. 8And hee tooke Agag the king of the Amalekites aliue, and vtterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheepe, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambes, and all that was good, and would not vtterly destroy them: but euery thing that was vile, and refuse, that they destroyed vtterly. 10¶ Then came the word of the Lord vnto Samuel, saying; 11It repenteth me that I haue set vp Saul to be king: for hee is turned backe from following me, and hath not performed my commandements. And it grieued Samuel; and he cried vnto the Lord all night.
