³ Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally^(A) destroy^[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

⁷ Then Saul attacked the Amalekites^(A) all the way from Havilah to Shur,^(B) near the eastern border of Egypt.

⁸ Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites,^(A) the Girzites and the Amalekites.^(B) (From ancient times these peoples had lived in the land extending to Shur^(C) and Egypt.)

⁹ Whenever David attacked an area, he did not leave a man or woman alive,^(A) but took sheep and cattle, donkeys and camels, and clothes. Then he returned to Achish.
