Samuel and Saul

Samuel and Saul

"The Lord sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. 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. But not fetuses, for they are human beings and life is sacred upon the Lord."

"The will of the Lord shall be done."

Therefore, every available seat will go to the Checkered Party. For the sake of democracy."

"Hooray!"

"Yes!"

"That is correct?"
