Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.
1 Samuel 15:3 ESV
"Devote to destruction" isn't a sacrifice, but it is a command to engage in holy war. No mercy, no exceptions.
This also isn't necessarily a punishment any more than amputating a limb is punishing the limb. Sometimes God disposes one part of his personal property in order to save another part. Every orchard keeper, forester, rancher, and oncologist does the same.
For your Maker is your husband, YHWH of hosts is his name; and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth he is called.
Isaiah 54:5
"Husband" in this verse is Hebrew ba'al. This verse proves that titles used by false gods are not necessarily rendered pagan or idolatrous by such misuse. Ba'al might have been used as the proper name of a pagan deity, but it is also a perfectly acceptable title to use for YHVH. Just don't confuse the beings behind the labels.

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.”
Psalms 122:6 NKJV
“Let all those who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned back.”
Psalms 129:5 NKJV
Contrast: loving Zion brings a blessing, hating Zion brings shame. Why? Because Jerusalem is better than other cities?
Nope. Because it's chosen by God as you were chosen by God despite our unworthiness.
I’m often asked why Bible translations are often different from each other. While the basic premise is consistent, different translations may be based on different manuscripts. Should this have any influence on the trust you place in our creator? No! However, it should have an influence on how you practice your faith.
