1And Samuel said to Saul, a“The Lord sent me to anoint you king over his people Israel; now therefore listen to the words of the Lord. 2Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘I have noted what Amalek did to Israel bin opposing them on the way when they came up out of Egypt. 3Now go and strike Amalek and cdevote to destruction
That is, set apart ( devote) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction); also verses 8, 9, 15, 18, 20, 21
all that they have. Do not spare them, ebut kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”
