13 At this Samuel said to Saul: “You have acted foolishly.+ You have not kept the commandment+ of Jehovah your God that he commanded you,+ because, if you had, Jehovah would have made your kingdom firm over Israel to time indefinite.

3 Now go, and you must strike down Amʹa·lek+ and devote him to destruction+ with all that he has, and you must not have compassion upon him, and you must put them to death,+ man as well as woman, child as well as suckling,+ bull as well as sheep, camel as well as ass.’”+
