The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Tanach: 1_Samuel 15: 4 And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
1_Samuel 15: 5 And Saul came to the city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.
1_Samuel 15: 6 And Saul said unto the Kenites: 'Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt.' So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
1_Samuel 15: 7 And Saul smote the Amalekites, from Havilah as thou goest to Shur, that is in front of Egypt.
1_Samuel 15: 8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
1_Samuel 15: 9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, even the young of the second birth, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them; but every thing that was of no account and feeble, that they destroyed utterly.
1_Samuel 15: 10 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying:
1_Samuel 15: 11 'It repenteth Me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned back from following Me, and hath not performed My commandments.' And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.
