וַיַּךְ שָׁאוּל אֶת־עֲמָלֵק מֵֽחֲוִילָה בּוֹאֲךָ שׁוּר אֲשֶׁר עַל־פְּנֵי מִצְרָֽיִם
And Saul smote the Amalekites, from Havilah as thou goest to Shur, that is in front of Egypt.
וַיִּתְפֹּשׂ אֶת־אֲגַג מֶֽלֶךְ־עֲמָלֵק חָי וְאֶת־כָּל־הָעָם הֶחֱרִים לְפִי־חָֽרֶב
And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
וַיַּחְמֹל שָׁאוּל וְהָעָם עַל־אֲגָג וְעַל־מֵיטַב הַצֹּאן וְהַבָּקָר וְהַמִּשְׁנִים וְעַל־הַכָּרִים וְעַל־כָּל־הַטּוֹב וְלֹא אָבוּ הַחֲרִימָם וְכָל־הַמְּלָאכָה נְמִבְזָה וְנָמֵס אֹתָהּ הֶחֱרִֽימוּ
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, even the young of the second birth, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them; but every thing that was of no account and feeble, that they destroyed utterly.
וַֽיְהִי דְּבַר־יְהוָה אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵל לֵאמֹֽר
Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying:
נִחַמְתִּי כִּֽי־הִמְלַכְתִּי אֶת־שָׁאוּל לְמֶלֶךְ כִּֽי־שָׁב מֵאַֽחֲרַי וְאֶת־דְּבָרַי לֹא הֵקִים וַיִּחַר לִשְׁמוּאֵל וַיִּזְעַק אֶל־יְהוָה כָּל־הַלָּֽיְלָה
’It repenteth Me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned back from following Me, and hath not performed My commandments.’ And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.
