Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Ahora ve y ataca a los amalecitas, y destruye completamente todo lo que tienen. No perdones a nadie ni a nada, mata a todo hombre y mujer, a todo bebé y niño de pecho, a todo buey y oveja, a todo camello y burro.
Dios ordenó a Saúl destruir completamente a los amalecitas y todo lo que poseían, sin excepción alguna.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of 1 Samuel, God commands King Saul through the prophet Samuel to utterly destroy the Amalekites as a divine judgment for their earlier attacks on the Israelites. This stems from the Amalekites' unprovoked assault on the weary and vulnerable Israelites during their exodus from Egypt, as recorded in Exodus 17, where God vowed to blot out their memory. The command reflects the ancient practice of herem, a form of total destruction in warfare, which was understood as carrying out God's justice in the context of Israel's covenant relationship with Him.
