And Agag said, Surely the bitternesse of death is past. 33And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childlesse, so shall thy mother bee childlesse among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal. 34¶ Then Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went vp to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
