1 Samuel 15:32-35
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

32 Then Samuel said, “Bring Agag king of the Amalekites here to me.” And Agag came to him haltingly.[a] Agag said, “Surely death is bitter.”[b] 33 Samuel said,

“As your sword has made women childless,
    so your mother shall be childless among women.”

And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.(A)

34 Then Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah of Saul.(B) 35 Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, but Samuel grieved over Saul. And the Lord was sorry that he had made Saul king over Israel.(C)
