‘Kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child...’
The Amalekite war of Saul began as a result of a divine command to Saul through the prophet Samuel: “Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.”
The print, from the Rijksmuseum, was made by printmaker Johann Sadeler and draughtsman Crispijn van den Broeck working in Antwerp in 1579.
