שמואל א ט״ו:ב׳-ג׳

משור ועד שה. שהיו בעלי כשפים, ומשנין עצמן ודומין לבהמה:

Oxen and sheep. They were sorcerers, and they would change themselves to appear as animals.² Radak suggests another reason for destroying the animals. The Torah specifies that the memory of Amoleik should be erased. Therefore, Shmuel instructed that not even an ox or a sheep should remain about which one might say ‘this animal belonged to Amoleik.’
