 1. Unlawful: One of the ten commandments is, "Thou shall not kill." 
 Call it murder if you like, as if that makes a difference, but you can't
 deny that God was a heartless bully who killed people just because He
 could.
 
 2. Premeditated: I'm quite sure he thought about it before-hand, but
 than again, He does seem like an uncontrolled, mindless force at times. >>

I just wonder if the killing of the Amalakite babies was premeditated?
