18 Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out His burning anger against Amalek, the LORD has done this to you today.

19 Moreover, the LORD will deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. And the LORD will deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
