Samuel sendeth Saul to destroy the Amalekites: his army, 1-5. He favoureth the Kenites; spareth Agag, and the best of the spoil: God rejects Saul from being king, 6-11. This Samuel declares to Saul; he commendeth, excuseth, at last humbleth himself, 12-25. Samuel is unmoved herewith; his mantle rent is a sign to Saul of his ruin: God cannot lie, 26-29. Samuel killeth Agag; goeth from Saul, and mourneth for him, 30-35.
