1 Samuel 15:2-3

2 Ainsi a dit l'Éternel des armées: J'ai rappelé à ma mémoire ce qu'a fait Amalek à Israël, comment il s'opposa à lui sur le chemin, quand il montait d'Égypte.

3 Maintenant va, et frappe Amalek, et vouez à l'interdit tout ce qu'il a; et ne l'épargne point, mais fais mourir et les hommes et les femmes, et les jeunes enfants et ceux qui tètent, et les bœufs et les brebis, et les chameaux et les ânes.

In this chapter are recorded the order Saul had from the Lord to destroy Amalek utterly, 1Sa 15:1-3 the preparation he made to put it in execution, and the success thereof, 1Sa 15:4-9 the offence the Lord took at his not obeying his order thoroughly, with which Samuel was made acquainted, and which grieved him, 1Sa 15:10,11, upon which he went out to meet Saul, and reprove him; and a long discourse upon the subject passed between them, the issue of which was, that by an irrevocable decree he was rejected from being king, 1Sa 15:12-31 and the chapter is concluded with an account of Samuel's hewing in pieces Agag king of Amalek, and of his final departure from Saul, 1Sa 15:32-35.
