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.

34 Samuel went to Ramah,(B) and Saul went up to his home in Gibeah(C) of Saul. 35 Even 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.
