Bible: 1 Sam. 15:3, 9

15:3 So go now and strike down the Amalekites. Destroy everything that they have. Don’t spare 1  them. Put them to death – man, woman, child, infant, ox, sheep, camel, and donkey alike.’

15:9 However, Saul and the army spared Agag, along with the best of the flock, the cattle, the fatlings, 2  and the lambs, as well as everything else that was of value. 3  They were not willing to slaughter them. But they did slaughter everything that was despised 4  and worthless.
