- 撒母耳對掃羅說、你住口罷、等我將耶和華昨夜向我所說的話告訴你.掃羅說、請講。
- 撒母耳對掃羅說、從前你雖然以自己為小、豈不是被立為以色列支派的元首麼。耶和華膏你作以色列的王。
- 耶和華差遣你、吩咐你說、你去擊打那些犯罪的亞瑪力人、將他們滅絕淨盡。
- 你為何沒有聽從耶和華的命令、急忙擄掠財物、行耶和華眼中看為惡的事呢。
- 掃羅對撒母耳說、我實在聽從了耶和華的命令、行了耶和華所差遣我行的路、擒了亞瑪力王亞甲來、滅盡了亞瑪力人。

- and the LORD sent you on a mission, and said, 'Go and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are exterminated.'
- "Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD, but rushed upon the spoil and did what was evil in the sight of the LORD?"
- Then Saul said to Samuel, "I did obey the voice of the LORD, and went on the mission on which the LORD sent me, and have brought back Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
