And Saul said vnto the Kenites, Goe, depart, and get you downe from among the Amalekites, least I destroy you with them: for ye shewed mercie to all the children of Israel, when they came vp from Egypt: and the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
1 Samuel 15:4 And Saul assembled ye people, and nombred them in Telaim, two hundreth thousande footemen, and ten thousand men of Iudah.
1 Samuel 15:5 And Saul came to a citie of Amalek, and set watch at the riuer.
1 Samuel 15:6 And Saul said vnto the Kenites, Goe, depart, and get you downe from among the Amalekites, least I destroy you with them: for ye shewed mercie to all the children of Israel, when they came vp from Egypt: and the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
1 Samuel 15:7 So Saul smote the Amalekites from Hauilah as thou commest to Shur, that is before Egypt,
1 Samuel 15:8 And tooke Agag the King of the Amalekites aliue, and destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
The verse centers on "saul", "said", "vnto", "kenites", "depart", "downe", "amalekites", and "least". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "saul" and "said", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 5's "And Saul came to a citie of..." into verse 7's "So Saul smote the Amalekites from Hauilah...", so "saul" and "said" belong inside that flow. In 1 Samuel context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "saul" and "said" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
