¹Sh’mu’el [His name is El] also said unto Sha’ul [desired] , The Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) sent me to anoint youi [to be] king over his people, over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] : now therefore hearken youi unto the voice of the words of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

²Thus says the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] , I remember [that] which ‘Amalek [Dweller in a Valley] did to Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , how he laid [wait] for him in the way, when he came up from Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] .

³Now go and strike ‘Amalek [Dweller in a Valley] , 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.

⁴And Sha’ul [desired] gathered the people together, and numbered them in T’la’im [lambs] , two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] .

⁵And Sha’ul [desired] came to a city of ‘Amalek [Dweller in a Valley] , and laid wait in the valley.

⁶And Sha’ul [desired] said unto the Keini [traveling tinkers or blacksmiths] , Go, depart, get you down from among the ‘Amalekim [Dwellers in a Valley] , lest I destroy you with them: for you2f showed kindness to all the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , when they came up out of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] . So the Keini [traveling tinkers or blacksmiths] departed from among the ‘Amalekim [Dwellers in a Valley] .

⁷And Sha’ul [desired] struck the ‘Amalekim [Dwellers in a Valley] from Havilah (Stretch of Sand) [until] youi come to Shur [wall] , that [is] over against Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] .

⁸And he took Agag [Violent] the king of the ‘Amalekim [Dwellers in a Valley] alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.

⁹But Sha’ul [desired] and the people spared Agag [Violent] , 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 everything [that was] vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.

¹⁰Then came the word of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) unto Sh’mu’el [His name is El] , saying,

¹¹It repents me that I have set up Sha’ul [desired] [to be] king: for he is turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments. And it grieved Sh’mu’el [His name is El] ; and he cried unto the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) all night.

¹²And when Sh’mu’el [His name is El] rose early to meet Sha’ul [desired] in the morning, it was told Sh’mu’el [His name is El] , saying, Sha’ul [desired] came to Carmel [Garden-land] , and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling] .

¹³And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] came to Sha’ul [desired] : and Sha’ul [desired] said unto him, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] youi of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) : I have performed the commandment of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

¹⁴And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said, What [means] then this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?

¹⁵And Sha’ul [desired] said, They have brought them from the ‘Amalekim [Dwellers in a Valley] : for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] ; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.

¹⁶Then Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said unto Sha’ul [desired] , Stay, and I will tell youi what the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.

¹⁷And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said, When youi [were] little in youi own sight, [were] youi not [made] the head of the tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , and the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) anointed youi king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] ?

¹⁸And the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) sent youi on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the ‘Amalekim [Dwellers in a Valley] , and fight against them until they be consumed.

¹⁹For what reason then did youi not obey the voice of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , but did fly upon the spoil (plunder; prey; booty) , and did evil in the sight of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) ?

²⁰And Sha’ul [desired] said unto Sh’mu’el [His name is El] , Yes, I have obeyed the voice of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , and have gone the way which the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) sent me, and have brought Agag [Violent] the king of ‘Amalek [Dweller in a Valley] , and have utterly destroyed the ‘Amalekim [Dwellers in a Valley] .

²¹But the people took of the spoil (plunder; prey; booty) , sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] in Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling] .

²²And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said, Has the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [as great] delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) ? Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat of rams.

²³For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because youi have rejected the word of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , he has also rejected youi from [being] king.

²⁴And Sha’ul [desired] said unto Sh’mu’el [His name is El] , I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , and youi words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.

²⁵Now therefore, I pray youi , pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

²⁶And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said unto Sha’ul [desired] , I will not return with youi : for youi have rejected the word of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , and the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has rejected youi from being king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] .

²⁷And as Sh’mu’el [His name is El] turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his Mantle (cloak; covering garment) (cloak) , and it rent.

²⁸And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said unto him, The Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has rent the kingdom of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] from youi this day, and has given it to a neighbour of youi , [that is] better than youi .

²⁹And also the Strength of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] will not lie nor repent: for he [is] not a man, that he should repent.

³⁰Then he said, I have sinned: [yet] honour me now, I pray youi , before the elders of my people, and before Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , and turn again with me, that I may worship the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] .

³¹So Sh’mu’el [His name is El] turned again after Sha’ul [desired] ; and Sha’ul [desired] worshipped the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

³²Then said Sh’mu’el [His name is El] , Bring you2f here to me Agag [Violent] the king of the ‘Amalekim [Dwellers in a Valley] . And Agag [Violent] came unto him delicately. And Agag [Violent] said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.

³³And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said, As youi sword has made women childless, so shall youi mother be childless among women. And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] hewed Agag [Violent] in pieces before the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling] .

³⁴Then Sh’mu’el [His name is El] went to Ramah [Hill] ; and Sha’ul [desired] went up to his house to Giv’ah [Hill] of Sha’ul [desired] .

³⁵And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] came no more to see Sha’ul [desired] until the day of his death: nevertheless Sh’mu’el [His name is El] mourned for Sha’ul [desired] : and the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) repented that he had made Sha’ul [desired] king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] .
