1SAM 15:3
Now therefore go, and smite Amalec, and utterly destroy all that he hath: spare him not, nor covet any thing that is his: but slay both man and woman, child and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ***.
1SAM 15:18
And the Lord sent thee on the way, and said: Go, and kill the sinners of Amalec, and thou shalt fight against them until thou hast utterly destroyed them
LK 19:27
But as for those my enemies, who would not have me reign over them, bring them hither, and kill them before me.
MT 10:34
Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword.
Is really Jesus say something like that?!

Yes.
Actually the passages from 1 Samuel are the prophet Samuel speaking the words of God. The passages from Luke and Matthew are quotes from Jesus. The passage in Luke is a character in His parable, but he really said both the statements in Luke and Matthew.
People shouldn't find that surprising. Scripture proclaims a God of both mercy and justice.

christians will give some vague or misleading answer. They will notice you point and then turn it around to mean something that it actually does not. They see the Lord as all good, so how could he do anything bad. They forget that he wiped out an entire population except Noah. They forget that they claim that he gave us diseases. If he gave us diseases, then he is constantly making new ones for us.
I do not know you answer for sure. I am not a believer of the bible, but can assure you that they will have an interesting answer.
