1 Samuel said to Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you to be king over his people, over Israel. Now therefore listen to the voice of the Lord’s words.
2 the Lord of Hosts says, ‘I remember what Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him on the way, when he came up out of Egypt.
3 Now go and strike Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and don’t spare them; but kill both man and woman, infant and nursing baby, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”
4 Saul summoned the people, and counted them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
