1 Samuel 15:7-9

New International Version

⁷ Then Saul attacked the Amalekites^(A) all the way from Havilah to Shur,^(B) near the eastern border of Egypt. ⁸ He took Agag^(C) king of the Amalekites alive,^(D) and all his people he totally destroyed with the sword. ⁹ But Saul and the army spared^(E) Agag and the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves^[a] and lambs—everything that was good. These they were unwilling to destroy completely, but everything that was despised and weak they totally destroyed.
