Exegesis
The direct object marker ʾet {אֶת־ | ʾeṯ} marks ʾaḡag {אֲגַ֥ג | ʾaḡag} ‘Agag’, further specified by the construct phrase mēleḵ {מֶֽלֶךְ | mēleḵ} ‘king’ and ʿămalēq {עֲמָלֵ֖ק | ʿămalēq} ‘of Amalek’.
The conjunction wə-ʾeṯ {וְאֶת־ | wə-ʾeṯ} + kol {כָּל־ | kol} + hā-ʿām {הָעָ֖ם | hā-ʿām} extends the action to ‘all the people.’
