5. Then Saul went to the city of Amalek and set up an ambush in the ravine.
6. He said to the Kenites, “Go away. Leave the Amalekites so that I won’t destroy you with them, because you showed kindness to the Israelites when they came out of Egypt.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.

8. He took King Agag of the Amalekites alive, but he killed all of Agag’s army with the sword.
