32 Then Samuel said, “Bring Agag near to me, the king of the Amalekites.” And Agag came to him [a]in chains. And Agag said, “Surely the bitterness of death has departed.” 33 But Samuel said, “(A)As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women.” And Samuel hacked Agag to pieces before Yahweh at Gilgal.
34 Then Samuel went to (B)Ramah, but Saul went up to his house at (C)Gibeah of Saul. 35 (D)So Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death; for Samuel (E)grieved over Saul. And Yahweh regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.
