Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Samuel said unto Saul, It was, me, Yahweh sent to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel,––now, therefore, hearken thou to the voice of Yahweh’s words. ² Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, I have well considered what Amalek did unto Israel––how he lay in wait for him in the way, when he came up out of Egypt. ³ Now, go and smite Amalek, and devote ye to destruction all that he hath, and spare him not,––but thou shalt slay both man and woman, both child and suckling, both ox and sheep, both camel and ass.
