against vuvh, in that they eat with the dahm. And he said,
You have transgressed: roll a great stone to me this day.
34 And Shaul said, Disperse yourselves among the
people, and say to them, Bring me here every man his
cattle, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and
eat; and sin not against vuvh in eating with the dahm. And
all the people brought every man his cattle with him that
night, and killed them there.
35 And Shaul built an altar to vuvh: this was the first altar
that he built to vuvh.
36 And Shaul said, Let us go down after the Plishtim by
night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us
not leave a man of them alive. And they said, Do
whatever seems tov to you. Then said the kohen, Let us
draw near here to Elohim.
37 And Shaul asked counsel of Elohim, Shall I go down
after the Plishtim? Will you deliver them into the hand of
Yisrael? But he answered him not that day.
38 And Shaul said, Draw near here, all you heads of the
people: and know and see what this sin has been this day.
39 For, as vuvh lives, who saves Yisrael, though it be in
Yonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a
man among all the people that answered him.
40 Then said he to kol Yisrael, Be on one side, and I and
Yonathan my son will be on the other side. And the
people said to Shaul, Do what seems tov to you.
41 Therefore Shaul said to vuvh Elohim of Yisrael, Give
me a perfect lot. And Shaul and Yonathan were taken: but
the people escaped.
42 And Shaul said, Cast lots between me and Yonathan
my son. And Yonathan was taken.
43 Then Shaul said to Yonathan, Tell me what you have
done. And Yonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a
little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand,
and, see, I must die.
44 And Shaul answered, Elohim do so and more also: for
you shall surely die, Yonathan.
45 And the people said to Shaul, Shall Yonathan die, who
has brought this great deliverance in Yisrael? Elohim
forbid: as vuvh lives, there shall not one hair of his head
fall to the ground; for he has wrought with Elohim this
day. So the people rescued Yonathan, so that he did not
die.
46 Then Shaul stopped from following the Plishtim: and
the Plishtim went to their own place.
47 So Shaul took the malchut over Yisrael, and fought
against all his enemies on every side, against Moav, and
against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and
against the melechim of Tzovah, and against the Plishtim:
and wherever he turned, he troubled them.
48 And he gathered an army, and smote the Amalekites,
and delivered Yisrael out of the hands of those that
plundered them.
49 Now the sons of Shaul were Yonathan, and Ishvi, and
Melchi-Shua: and the names of his two daughters were
these; the name of the bechora Merav, and the name of
the younger Michal:
50 And the name of Shaul's wife was Achinoam, the
daughter of Achimaatz: and the name of the leader of his
army was Avner, the son of Ner, Shaul's uncle.
51 And Kish was the abba of Shaul; and Ner the abba of
Avner was the son of Aviel.
52 And there was heavy war against the Plishtim all the

days of Shaul: and when Shaul saw any strong man, or
any brave man, he took him for himself.
Schmuel also said to Shaul, vuvh sent me to anoint
you to be melech over His people, over Yisrael: now
therefore listen to the voice of the words of vuvh.
2 This said vuvh tzevaoth, I remember that which Amalek
did to Yisrael, how he laid wait for him in the derech,
when he came up from Mitzrayim.
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that
they have, and spare them not; but kill both man and
woman, infant and the nursing, cattle and sheep, camel
and donkey.
4 And Shaul gathered the people together, and numbered
them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten
thousand men of Yahudah.
5 And Shaul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in
the valley.
6 And Shaul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, get away
from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them:
for you showed chesed to all the children of Yisrael, when
they came up out of Mitzrayim. So the Kenites departed
from among the Amalekites.
7 And Shaul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until you
come to Shur, that is over against Mitzrayim.
8 And he took Agag the melech of the Amalekites alive,
and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the
sword.
9 But Shaul and the people spared Agag, along with the
best of the sheep, and of the cattle, and of the fatlings, and
the lambs, and all that was tov, and would not utterly
destroy them: but everything that was vile and useless,
that they destroyed utterly.
10 Then came the Word of vuvh 780 15
to Schmuel, saying,
11 It repents Me that I have set up Shaul to be melech: for
he is turned back from following Me, and has not
performed My orders. And it grieved Schmuel; and he
cried to vuvh all night.
12 And when Schmuel rose early to meet Shaul in the
morning, it was told Schmuel, saying, Shaul came to
Carmel, and, see, he set up a place, and has gone out, and
moved on, and gone down to Gilgal.
13 And Schmuel came to Shaul: and Shaul said to him,
Yev-er-ech-echah vuvh: I have performed the order of
vuvh.
14 And Schmuel said, What means then this bleating of
the sheep in my ears, and the bellowing of the cattle
which I hear?
15 And Shaul said, They have brought them from the
Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep
and cattle, to sacrifice to vuvh your Elohim; and the rest
we have utterly destroyed.
16 Then Schmuel said to Shaul, Stay, and I will tell you
what vuvh has said to me this night. And he said to him,
Go ahead speak.
17 And Schmuel said, When you were little in your own
sight, were you not made the head of the tribes of Yisrael,
and vuvh anointed you melech over kol Yisrael?
18 And vuvh sent you on a journey, and said, Go and
utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight
against them until they are consumed.
19 Why then did you not obey the voice of vuvh, but did
jump upon the spoil, and did evil in the sight of vuvh?
