1 Samuel 15:32-35

Christian Standard Bible

³²Samuel said, “Bring me King Agag of Amalek.”

Agag came to him trembling,^[a] for he thought, “Certainly the bitterness of death has come.”^[b]^[c]

³³Samuel declared:

As your sword has made women childless,
so your mother will be childless among women.^(A)

Then he hacked Agag to pieces before the Lord at Gilgal.

³⁴Samuel went to Ramah,^(B) and Saul went up to his home in Gibeah^(C) of Saul. ³⁵Even to the day of his death, Samuel never saw Saul again.^(D) Samuel mourned for Saul,^(E) and the Lord regretted he had made Saul king over Israel.
