Ale Saul i z ludem swym przepuścił Agagowi i co nalepszem owcom, wołom i bydłu tłustemu i baranom i wszytkiemu, co było nalepsze, a nie chcieli tego tracić. Jedno to, co było niczemne a ninacz się nie godziło, to pozabijali.
Przetoż stało się słowo Pańskie do Samuela, mówiąc:
Saul zatem, wraz ze swoim wojskiem, oszczędził Agaga oraz najlepsze owce i bydło, młode, tuczne zwierzęta i barany - tego wszystkiego, co było dobre, nie chcieli potraktować jak obłożonego klątwą. Potraktowali tak tylko to, co liche i bez większej wartości.
Ale Saul, a także lud, ulitowali się nad Agagem, nad najlepszym z trzód i rogacizny, nad dwuroczniakami, nad tucznymi baranami i w ogóle nad wszystkim, co przedniejsze, i nie chcieli tego wytępić; zaś wytępili wszelkie liche i słabowite.
Lecz Saul i lud oszczędzili Agaga i to, co najlepsze z owiec, wołów, tłustych zwierząt, baranów, oraz wszystko, co było dobre i nie chcieli tego zniszczyć. Zniszczyli zaś wszystko, co było nikczemne i nędzne.
Lecz Saul i jego lud oszczędzili Agaga i to, co było najlepsze wśród owiec i bydła, najtłustsze okazy i jagnięta, i wszystkiego, co było wartościowe nie chcieli przeznaczyć na zniszczenie, zniszczyli natomiast dobytek lichy i marny.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Saul and all the people spared Agag,.... Perhaps Saul made the motion to spare him, and the people agreed to it; it may be, out of respect to him as a king; or because of the comeliness of his person, the height of his stature, and the largeness of his body, as Josephus y notes; or to carry him in triumph in a public show, see 1 Samuel 15:12
and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings; or "of the second sort", as in the margin, the second best; or rather which shed their two long teeth, as sheep at two years old did when reckoned at their full strength, and fittest for sacrifice z:
and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them; as they were commanded, but kept them for their own private use and advantage, and this not only the best and fattest of the flocks and herds, but of their household goods:
but everything that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly: such of the cattle that were poor and lean, lame or blind, or had any defect in them, and household goods that were mere rubbish and lumber; such they entirely destroyed, killed the creatures, and burnt the goods; in doing which they thought they fulfilled the will of God.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The fatlings - The present Hebrew text cannot be so rendered. It can only mean âthe second bestâ (compare the margin), i. e., sheep of the age to cut or shed the two teeth, sheep in their prime. But it is probable that the reading is corrupt, and that âfat or dainty bitsâ is the true reading.
