1 SAMUEL 15:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.”
And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword — Saul defeats the Amalekites but captures Agag (the king) alive rather than executing him. This is a direct violation of the ḥerem command. and all the people utterly destroyed — the soldiers, however, comply with the command regarding the common people.
