1 Samuel 15:8-9, 32-33

1 Samuel 15:8-9 NCV

He took King Agag of the Amalekites alive, but he killed all of Agag’s army with the sword. Saul and the army let Agag live, along with the best sheep, fat cattle, and lambs. They let every good animal live, because they did not want to destroy them. But when they found an animal that was weak or useless, they killed it.

1 Samuel 15:32-33 NCV

Then Samuel said, “Bring me King Agag of the Amalekites.” Agag came to Samuel in chains, but Agag thought, “Surely the threat of death has passed.” Samuel said to him, “Your sword made other mothers lose their children. Now your mother will have no children.” And Samuel cut Agag to pieces before the LORD at Gilgal.
