• Hiligaynon: “They killed all the Amaleknon, but Agag their king on-the-other-hand they did- not -kill but-instead they just captured (him). They also did- not -kill the best sheep and cows, including their calves/lambs. Everything that (was) good they did- not -destroy, but the ones who were-frail/feeble/weak and not of-value they destroyed.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Saul’s army captured Agag, the king of the Amalek people-group, but they killed everyone else.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
