| 1 | Samuel said to Saul, Yahweh sent me to anoint you to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore listen you to the voice of the words of Yahweh. | 1Sa 15:17 1Sa 15:18 1Sa 9:16 1Sa 10:1 |
| 2 | Thus says Yahweh of Hosts, I have marked that which Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up out of Egypt. | Jer 31:34 Hos 7:2 Am 8:7 |
| 3 | Now go and strike Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and don`t spare them; but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and donkey. | Lv 27:28 Lv 27:29 Nm 24:20 Dt 13:15 Dt 13:16 Dt 20:16-18 Jsh 6:17-21 |
| 4 | Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah. | Jsh 15:24 |
| 5 | Saul came to the city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley. |
| 6 | Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for you showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. | 1Sa 27:10 Nm 24:21 Nm 24:22 Jg 1:16 Jg 4:11 Jg 5:24 1Ch 2:55 |
| 7 | Saul struck the Amalekites, from Havilah as you go to Shur, that is before Egypt. | 1Sa 14:48 Jb 21:30 Ec 8:13 |
| 8 | He took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. | 1Sa 15:3 Nm 24:7 1Ki 20:30 1Ki 20:34-42 Es 3:1 |
| 9 | But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and wouldn`t utterly destroy them: but everything that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly. | 1Sa 15:3 1Sa 15:15 1Sa 15:19 Jsh 7:21 |
| 10 | Then came the word of Yahweh to Samuel, saying, |
| 11 | It repents me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments. Samuel was angry; and he cried to Yahweh all night. | 1Sa 15:35 Gn 6:6 2Sa 24:16 Ps 110:4 Jer 18:7-10 Am 7:3 Jon 3:10 Jon 4:2 |
| 12 | Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a monument, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal. | 1Sa 25:2 Jsh 15:55 1Ki 18:42 |
| 13 | Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, Blessed be you of Yahweh: I have performed the commandment of Yahweh. | 1Sa 13:10 Gn 14:19 Jg 17:2 Ru 3:10 |
| 14 | Samuel said, What means then this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear? | Ps 36:2 Ps 50:16-21 Jer 2:18 Jer 2:19 Jer 2:22 Jer 2:23 Jer 2:34-37 Mal 3:13-15 Lk 19:22 Ro 3:19 1Co 4:5 |
| 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 Yahweh your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed. | 1Sa 15:9 1Sa 15:21 Gn 3:12 Gn 3:13 Ex 32:22 Ex 32:23 Jb 31:33 Pr 28:13 |
| 16 | Then Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell you what Yahweh has said to me this night. He said to him, Say on. | 1Sa 9:27 1Sa 12:7 1Ki 22:16 |
| 17 | Samuel said, "Though you were little in your own sight, weren`t you made the head of the tribes of Israel? Yahweh anointed you king over Israel; | 1Sa 9:21 1Sa 10:22 Jg 6:15 Hos 13:1 Mt 18:4 |
| 18 | and Yahweh sent you on a journey, and said, `Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.` | Gn 13:13 Gn 15:16 Nm 16:38 Jb 31:3 Pr 10:29 Pr 13:21 |
| 19 | Why then didn`t you obey the voice of Yahweh, but flew on the spoil, and did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh?" | Pr 15:27 Jer 7:11 Hab 2:9-12 2Ti 4:10 |
| 20 | Saul said to Samuel, Yes, I have obeyed the voice of Yahweh, and have gone the way which Yahweh sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. | 1Sa 15:13 Jb 33:9 Jb 34:5 Jb 35:2 Jb 40:8 Mt 19:20 Lk 10:29 Lk 18:11 Ro 10:3 |
| 21 | But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God in Gilgal. | 1Sa 15:15 Gn 3:13 Ex 32:22 Ex 32:23 |
| 22 | Samuel said, Has Yahweh as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Yahweh? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams. | Ps 50:8 Ps 50:9 Ps 51:16 Ps 51:17 Pr 21:3 Isa 1:11-17 Jer 7:22 Jer 7:23 Hos 6:6 Am 5:21-24 Mic 6:6-8 Mt 9:13 Mt 12:7 Mt 23:23 Heb 10:4-10 |
| 23 | For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because you have rejected the word of Yahweh, he has also rejected you from being king. | 1Sa 12:14 1Sa 12:15 Nm 14:9 Dt 9:7 Dt 9:24 Jsh 22:16-19 Jb 34:37 Ps 107:11 Jer 28:16 Jer 29:32 Ezk 2:5-8 |
| 24 | Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Yahweh, and your words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. | 1Sa 15:30 Ex 9:27 Ex 10:16 Nm 22:34 2Sa 12:13 Mt 27:4 |
| 25 | Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Yahweh. | Ex 10:17 |
| 26 | Samuel said to Saul, I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of Yahweh, and Yahweh has rejected you from being king over Israel. | 1Sa 15:31 Gn 42:38 Gn 43:11-14 Lk 24:28 Lk 24:29 2Jn 1:11 |
| 27 | As Samuel turned about to go away, [Saul] laid hold on the skirt of his robe, and it tore. |
| 28 | Samuel said to him, Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours who is better than you. | 1Sa 28:17 1Sa 28:18 1Ki 11:30 1Ki 11:31 |
| 29 | Also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent. | Dt 33:27 Ps 29:11 Ps 68:35 Isa 45:24 Jl 3:16 2Co 12:9 Php 4:13 |
| 30 | Then he said, I have sinned: yet honor me now, Please, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship Yahweh your God. | Hab 2:4 Jn 5:44 Jn 12:43 |
| 31 | So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped Yahweh. |
| 32 | Then said Samuel, Bring you here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. Agag came to him cheerfully. Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past. | Jer 48:44 1Th 5:3 Rev 18:7 |
| 33 | Samuel said, As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women. Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before Yahweh in Gilgal. | Gn 9:6 Ex 17:11 Nm 14:45 Jg 1:7 Mt 7:2 Jm 2:13 Rev 16:6 Rev 18:6 |
| 34 | Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul. | 1Sa 11:4 |
| 35 | Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul: and Yahweh repented that he had made Saul king over Israel. | 1Sa 19:24 |
