1Sh’mu’el [His name is El] also said unto Sha’ul [desired], The LORD-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 2Thus says the LORD-Yehovah (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 you^2f 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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): I have performed the commandment of the LORD-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youⁱ God-Elohim (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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) anointed youⁱ king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]? 18And the LORD-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), but did fly upon the spoil (plunder; prey; booty), and did evil in the sight of the LORD-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and have gone the way which the LORD-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youⁱ God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] in Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling].

22And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said, Has the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [as great] delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and the LORD-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youⁱ God-Elohim (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

32Then said Sh’mu’el [His name is El], Bring you^2f 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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) repented that he had made Sha’ul [desired] king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
