1st Samuel 14-15

Today we read chapters 14-15, Jonathan goes on a rampage and kills dozens of Philistines along with his faithful armor bearer. Saul makes a terrible vow that ultimately will lead to his and Jonathan's death, not unlike the vow Jephthah made which lead to his daughters death.  Chapter 15 Samuel tells Saul that God commands that he destroys the Amelakites, and instead Saul allows his soldiers to take their livestock among other treasures, and allows the king to live. God tells Samuel that he is rejecting Saul, and Samuel hacks Agag to pieces. I love this story.
