1 Samuel 15:31-33
Lexham English Bible

31 So Samuel returned after Saul, and Saul worshiped[a] Yahweh.

32 Then Samuel said, “Bring Agag the king of Amalek out to me!” Agag came to him confidently,[b] for Agag thought, “Surely the bitterness of death is over.”[c]

33 Samuel said,

    so will your mother be bereaved among women!”

Then Samuel hacked Agag to pieces in the presence of Yahweh at Gilgal.
