1 Samuel 15:8-9

New American Standard Bible

⁸ He captured ^(A)Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and ^(B)completely destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. ⁹ But Saul and the people ^(C)spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the more valuable animals, the lambs, and everything that was good, and were unwilling to destroy them completely; but everything despicable and weak, that they completely destroyed.
