Israel Defeats The Amalekites

7 And Saul struck the Amalekites from Havilah, as you come to Shur, which is over across from Egypt. 8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive. And he completely destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9 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 completely destroy them. But everything that was vile and feeble they completely destroyed.
