King Saul is given a command from God through the prophet Samuel to punish the Amalekites for a crime committed over four hundred years earlier.
This command amounted to genocide. Every man, woman, child and animal was to be utterly destroyed.
How can a God of love be so cruel?
Have we misunderstand the true character of God, atheists like Richard Dawkins think so, but what saith the word of God?
The eighteenth in a series studying through the first book of Samuel in the Bible.
Study delivered on Sunday 28th May 2023 by Pastor Matthew Hobbs.
