Guerra contra os amalequitas
15 Samuel disse a Saul:
— O Senhor Deus me mandou ungir você para ser rei de Israel, o povo dele. Agora escute isto que o Senhor Todo-Poderoso diz. 2 Ele castigará os amalequitas porque eles lutaram contra os israelitas quando estes vieram do Egito. 3 Vá, ataque os amalequitas e destrua completamente tudo o que eles têm. Não tenha dó nem piedade. Mate todos os homens e mulheres, crianças e bebês, gado e ovelhas, camelos e jumentos.
4 Então Saul convocou o seu exército e em Telaim fez uma contagem dos seus soldados. Havia duzentos mil soldados do povo de Israel e dez mil de Judá. 5 Aí Saul e todos os seus soldados foram para a cidade de Amaleque e ficaram esperando escondidos no leito seco de um rio. 6 Saul preveniu os queneus:
— Saiam do meio dos amalequitas para que eu não os mate junto com eles, pois vocês foram bondosos com os israelitas quando eles vieram do Egito.
Então os queneus saíram.
7 E Saul derrotou os amalequitas, desde Havilá até Sur, a leste do Egito. 8 Prendeu Agague, o rei dos amalequitas, porém matou todo o povo. 9 Saul e os seus soldados não mataram Agague; também não mataram as melhores ovelhas, os melhores touros, bezerros e carneiros e tudo o mais que era bom. Mas destruíram tudo o que era imprestável e sem valor.
Saul é rejeitado como rei
10 O Senhor Deus falou com Samuel:
11 — Eu estou arrependido de ter feito Saul rei, pois ele me abandonou e desobedeceu às minhas ordens.
Samuel ficou triste com isso e a noite inteira orou em voz bem alta a Deus, o Senhor, em favor de Saul. 12 Na manhã seguinte, bem cedo, ele saiu para procurar Saul. Soube que ele tinha ido para a cidade de Carmelo, onde havia construído um monumento em honra de si mesmo, e que depois tinha seguido para Gilgal. 13 Samuel encontrou Saul, e este o cumprimentou, dizendo:
— Que o Senhor Deus o abençoe, Samuel! Eu obedeci às ordens do Senhor.
14 E Samuel perguntou:
— Então por que é que estou ouvindo o mugido de gado e o berro de ovelhas?
15 Saul respondeu:
— Os meus soldados os tomaram dos amalequitas. Pegaram as melhores ovelhas e o melhor gado para oferecer como sacrifício ao Senhor, o Deus de você. E destruímos completamente o resto.
16 — Espere! — interrompeu Samuel. — Eu vou lhe contar o que o Senhor Deus me disse na noite passada.
— Fale! — disse Saul.
17 E Samuel continuou:
— Você pode pensar que é uma pessoa sem importância, mas é o líder das tribos de Israel. O Senhor Deus o ungiu como rei do povo de Israel 18 e mandou que você fosse e destruísse os amalequitas, essa gente má. E disse para você lutar até acabar com eles. 19 Então por que é que você não obedeceu? Por que é que você teve pressa de ficar com as coisas do inimigo, fazendo assim uma coisa que para Deus é errada?
20 — Mas eu obedeci a Deus, o Senhor! — respondeu Saul. — Saí como ele me ordenou, trouxe o rei Agague e matei todos os amalequitas. 21 Porém os meus soldados não mataram o melhor gado e as melhores ovelhas, que estavam condenados à destruição. Em vez disso, eles os trouxeram aqui para Gilgal a fim de os oferecer como sacrifício ao Senhor, o Deus de você.
22 Samuel respondeu:
— O que é que o Senhor Deus prefere?
Obediência ou oferta de sacrifícios?
É melhor obedecer a Deus
do que oferecer-lhe em sacrifício as melhores ovelhas.
23 A revolta contra o Senhor é tão grave como a feitiçaria,
e o orgulho é pecado como é pecado a idolatria.
O Senhor o rejeitou como rei
porque você rejeitou as ordens dele.
24 — Eu pequei! — respondeu Saul. — Desobedeci às ordens de Deus, o Senhor, e às instruções que você deu. Fiquei com medo do povo e fiz o que eles queriam. 25 Mas agora, Samuel, eu peço que perdoe o meu pecado e volte comigo para que eu possa adorar o Senhor.
26 — Eu não voltarei com você! — respondeu Samuel. — Você rejeitou as ordens de Deus, o Senhor, e por isso ele também o rejeitou como rei de Israel.
27 Então Samuel virou-se para sair. Mas Saul o segurou pela barra da capa, e ela se rasgou. 28 E Samuel disse:
— Hoje Deus rasgou das suas mãos o Reino de Israel e o deu a alguém que é melhor do que você. 29 O glorioso Deus de Israel não mente, nem muda de ideia. Ele não é um ser humano e por isso não se arrepende.
30 — Eu pequei! — repetiu Saul. — Mas pelo menos me respeite na frente dos líderes e de todo o povo de Israel. Volte comigo para que eu possa adorar o Senhor, seu Deus.
31 Então Samuel voltou com ele, e Saul adorou a Deus, o Senhor.
32 E Samuel ordenou:
— Tragam aqui o rei Agague.
Tremendo de medo, Agague foi até o lugar onde Saul estava e disse:
— Como é amargo morrer!
33 Samuel disse:
— Assim como a sua espada fez muitas mães ficarem sem filhos, agora também a sua mãe vai ficar sem o seu filho.
Em seguida Samuel cortou Agague em pedaços, em Gilgal, em frente do altar.
34 Aí Samuel foi para Ramá, e Saul voltou para a sua casa em Gibeá. 35 E nunca mais Samuel tornou a ver Saul, mas ficou com muita pena dele. E o Senhor Deus se arrependeu de ter colocado Saul como rei de Israel.
1 Samuel 15
American Standard Version
1 Samuel 15
American Standard Version
15 And Samuel said unto Saul, Jehovah sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of Jehovah. 2 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, I [a]have marked that which Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up out of Egypt. 3 Now go and smite Amalek, and [b]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.
4 And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah. 5 And Saul came to the city of Amalek, and [c]laid wait in the valley. 6 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. 7 And Saul smote the Amalekites, from Havilah as thou goest to Shur, that is before Egypt. 8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and [d]utterly 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 [e]utterly destroy them: but everything that was vile and refuse, that they [f]destroyed utterly.
10 Then came the word of Jehovah unto Samuel, saying, 11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And Samuel was wroth; and he cried unto Jehovah all night. 12 And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a [g]monument, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal. 13 And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of Jehovah: I have performed the commandment of Jehovah. 14 And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear? 15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto Jehovah thy God; and the rest we have [h]utterly destroyed. 16 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what Jehovah hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.
17 And Samuel said, [i]Though thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? And Jehovah anointed thee king over Israel; 18 and Jehovah sent thee on a journey, and said, Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed. 19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of Jehovah, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah? 20 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of Jehovah, and have gone the way which Jehovah sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have [j]utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice unto Jehovah thy God in Gilgal. 22 And Samuel said, Hath Jehovah as great delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of [k]witchcraft, and stubbornness is as [l]idolatry and teraphim. Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and thy words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. 25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah. 26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee; for thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. 27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, Saul laid hold upon the skirt of his robe, and it rent. 28 And Samuel said unto him, Jehovah hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbor of thine, that is better than thou. 29 And also the [m]Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent. 30 Then he said, I have sinned: yet honor me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah thy God. 31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped Jehovah.
32 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him cheerfully. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past. 33 And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before Jehovah in Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul. 35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death; [n]for Samuel mourned for Saul: and Jehovah repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.

The Lord Rejects Saul as King
15 Samuel said to Saul, “I am the one the Lord sent to anoint(A) you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the Lord. 2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites(B) for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally(C) destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
4 So Saul summoned the men and mustered them at Telaim—two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand from Judah. 5 Saul went to the city of Amalek and set an ambush in the ravine. 6 Then he said to the Kenites,(D) “Go away, leave the Amalekites so that I do not destroy you along with them; for you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.
7 Then Saul attacked the Amalekites(E) all the way from Havilah to Shur,(F) near the eastern border of Egypt. 8 He took Agag(G) king of the Amalekites alive,(H) and all his people he totally destroyed with the sword. 9 But Saul and the army spared(I) Agag and the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves[b] and lambs—everything that was good. These they were unwilling to destroy completely, but everything that was despised and weak they totally destroyed.
10 Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel: 11 “I regret(J) that I have made Saul king, because he has turned(K) away from me and has not carried out my instructions.”(L) Samuel was angry,(M) and he cried out to the Lord all that night.
12 Early in the morning Samuel got up and went to meet Saul, but he was told, “Saul has gone to Carmel.(N) There he has set up a monument(O) in his own honor and has turned and gone on down to Gilgal.”
13 When Samuel reached him, Saul said, “The Lord bless you! I have carried out the Lord’s instructions.”
14 But Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of sheep in my ears? What is this lowing of cattle that I hear?”
15 Saul answered, “The soldiers brought them from the Amalekites; they spared the best of the sheep and cattle to sacrifice to the Lord your God, but we totally destroyed the rest.”
16 “Enough!” Samuel said to Saul. “Let me tell you what the Lord said to me last night.”
“Tell me,” Saul replied.
17 Samuel said, “Although you were once small(P) in your own eyes, did you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? The Lord anointed you king over Israel. 18 And he sent you on a mission, saying, ‘Go and completely destroy those wicked people, the Amalekites; wage war against them until you have wiped them out.’ 19 Why did you not obey the Lord? Why did you pounce on the plunder(Q) and do evil in the eyes of the Lord?”
20 “But I did obey(R) the Lord,” Saul said. “I went on the mission the Lord assigned me. I completely destroyed the Amalekites and brought back Agag their king. 21 The soldiers took sheep and cattle from the plunder, the best of what was devoted to God, in order to sacrifice them to the Lord your God at Gilgal.”
22 But Samuel replied:
“Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
as much as in obeying the Lord?
To obey is better than sacrifice,(S)
and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination,(T)
and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.
Because you have rejected(U) the word of the Lord,
he has rejected you as king.”
24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned.(V) I violated(W) the Lord’s command and your instructions. I was afraid(X) of the men and so I gave in to them. 25 Now I beg you, forgive(Y) my sin and come back with me, so that I may worship the Lord.”
26 But Samuel said to him, “I will not go back with you. You have rejected(Z) the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you as king over Israel!”
27 As Samuel turned to leave, Saul caught hold of the hem of his robe,(AA) and it tore.(AB) 28 Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn(AC) the kingdom(AD) of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors—to one better than you.(AE) 29 He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie(AF) or change(AG) his mind; for he is not a human being, that he should change his mind.”
30 Saul replied, “I have sinned.(AH) But please honor(AI) me before the elders of my people and before Israel; come back with me, so that I may worship the Lord your God.” 31 So Samuel went back with Saul, and Saul worshiped the Lord.
32 Then Samuel said, “Bring me Agag king of the Amalekites.”
Agag came to him in chains.[c] And he thought, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”
33 But Samuel said,
“As your sword has made women childless,
so will your mother be childless among women.”(AJ)
And Samuel put Agag to death before the Lord at Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel left for Ramah,(AK) but Saul went up to his home in Gibeah(AL) of Saul. 35 Until the day Samuel(AM) died, he did not go to see Saul again, though Samuel mourned(AN) for him. And the Lord regretted(AO) that he had made Saul king over Israel.
