1 Samuel 15:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible
7 Then Saul attacked the Amalekites. He fought them all the way from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt. 8 Saul caught their king, Agag, while he was still alive. Saul's soldiers used their swords to kill all of Agag's people. 9 But Saul and the army let King Agag live. Also, they did not kill the best sheep, lambs, cows and fat calves. They kept all the good things and they did not agree to destroy them. But they killed everything that was weak and useless.

7 Then Saul attacked the Amalekites(A) all the way from Havilah to Shur,(B) near the eastern border of Egypt. 8 He took Agag(C) king of the Amalekites alive,(D) and all his people he totally destroyed with the sword. 9 But Saul and the army spared(E) Agag and the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves[a] and lambs—everything that was good. These they were unwilling to destroy completely, but everything that was despised and weak they totally destroyed.
