Thus sayeth the Lord, go and smite them amalic, utterly destroy all that they have.

Spare them not, slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.

So genocide then, genocide is what we're talking about.

Hey, if you think that this is the good book or that the God inside of it is a good person,

then call the show because it starts right now.

Hello everybody and welcome to the eighths experience.

I'm your host, Forest Valchai.

And joined today is the incomparable, the dashing, the glorious, the amazing Seth Andrews.

How are you today, my friend?

I'm well.

And I heard your show intro and I just want you to know that I'm uncomfortable by the word suckling.

I've always had been I don't know why.

It's not a great word.

This man, this version has the weirdest language in it.

All the I think this is King James.

I don't know.

I just I picked that one in particular because that's that's first Samuel 15.

And this is where God tells Samuel to go a soul pardon me, tell Saul to go slaughter the amalicites

and every man, woman and baby among them.

And then he doesn't.

Saul actually saves a few of the livestock as like spoils of war to feed his people.

And then also I think he takes the King as a political prisoner.
