Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD. 1Sa 9:161Sa 12:141Ch 22:12-131Sa 13:13Psa 2:10-111Sa 10:11Sa 15:16-182Sa 23:2-3 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. Deu 25:17-19Num 24:20Exo 17:8-16Hos 7:2Amo 8:7Jer 31:34 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

Jos 15:241Sa 11:81Sa 13:15 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley. 1
¶ And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. Jdg 1:16Num 10:29-32Exo 18:19Jdg 4:11Num 24:21-221Sa 27:10Exo 18:9-10Jdg 5:24 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt. 1Sa 14:48Gen 16:7Gen 25:181Sa 27:8Exo 15:22Gen 2:11Ecc 8:13Job 21:30 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 1Sa 30:1Est 3:1Num 24:71Ki 20:301Ki 20:34-421Sa 15:3Jos 10:39Jos 11:12 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 would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly. 2 1Sa 15:151Sa 15:191Sa 15:3Jos 7:212Sa 6:13
¶ Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying, 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. 1Sa 13:13Gen 6:62Sa 24:16Psa 119:1361Sa 15:31Sa 15:351Sa 15:9Jer 9:18 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal. Jos 15:551Sa 25:22Sa 18:181Ki 18:421Sa 7:12Jos 4:8-9 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD. Jdg 17:2Rut 3:101Sa 15:111Sa 15:9Gen 14:19Gen 3:12Luk 17:10Luk 18:11 And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear? 1Co 4:5Jer 2:18-19Jer 2:22-23Jer 2:34-37Luk 19:22Mal 3:13-15Psa 36:2Psa 50:16-21 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed. 1Sa 15:211Sa 15:9Exo 32:22-23Gen 3:12-13Job 31:33Luk 10:29Mat 2:8Pro 28:13 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on. 1Ki 22:161Sa 12:71Sa 9:27 And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel? 1Sa 10:221Sa 15:1-31Sa 9:211Sa 10:1Jdg 6:15Mat 18:4Hos 13:1 And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed. 3 Gen 13:13Gen 15:16Job 31:3Num 16:38Pro 10:29Pro 13:21 Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD? 1Sa 14:322Ch 33:22Ch 33:62Ch 36:12Hab 2:9-12Jer 7:11Pro 15:272Ti 4:10 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 1Sa 15:13Mat 19:20Rom 10:31Sa 15:31Sa 15:8Job 33:9Job 34:5Job 35:2 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal. 1Sa 15:15Exo 32:22-23Gen 3:13 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. Hos 6:6Psa 51:16-17Pro 21:3Amo 5:21-24Mrk 12:33Mat 9:13Mic 6:6-8Jer 7:22-23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. 4 Jer 28:161Sa 13:14Lev 20:6Gal 5:202Co 6:16Deu 18:10-11Jer 29:32Exo 22:18
¶ And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. 2Sa 12:13Isa 51:12-13Gal 1:10Num 22:34Pro 29:251Sa 15:30Exo 23:2Exo 9:27 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD. Exo 10:17 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. Hos 4:61Sa 13:141Sa 16:11Sa 15:232Jn 1:11Jer 6:191Sa 15:311Sa 2:30 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. 1Ki 11:30-31 And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou. 1Sa 28:17-18Act 13:221Ki 11:30-311Sa 13:141Sa 16:121Sa 2:7-8Dan 4:17Dan 4:32 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent. 5 Num 23:19Ezk 24:14Tit 1:22Ti 2:13Heb 6:18Psa 95:11Jol 3:162Co 12:9 Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God. Jhn 12:43Jhn 5:44Isa 29:132Ti 3:5Hab 2:4Luk 18:9-14 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
¶ Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past. 1Th 5:3Jer 48:44Rev 18:7 And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal. Jdg 1:7Gen 9:6Mat 7:2Jas 2:13Rev 16:6Rev 18:61Ki 18:40Exo 17:11
¶ Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul. 1Sa 11:41Sa 7:17 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel. 1Sa 15:111Sa 19:241Sa 16:1Jer 9:1-2Gen 6:6Php 3:18Psa 119:136Psa 119:158
