Sha’ul destroys the Amalekites

1Sa 15:1–9

15:1 Sha’ul destroys the Amalekites

15One day Shemuel said to Sha’ul, “It was Yahweh who sent me to anoint you as king over his people Israel back then, so now, listen to what he has to say.[ref] 2Commander Yahweh says, ‘I’ve noticed what the Amalekites did to Israel when they came out of Egyptthey attacked them as they passed by.[ref] 3So go now and attack Amalek and destroy them completely without compassion, putting men and women, children and infants to death, along with their cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’ ”

4So Sha’ul summoned the people to Telaim and counted them: two hundred thousand foot soldiers as well as ten thousand warriors from Yehudah. 5Then Sha’ul took them to Amalek city, and they lay in wait in the valley. 6Then he warned the Kenites, “You all need to move out from among the Amalekites, so that you all won’t be attacked along with them. That’s because you all were kind to our ancestors when they came out of Egypt.” So the Kenites moved out from among the Amalekites.

7Then Sha’ul slaughtered the Amalekites from Havilah to Shur (near Egypt), 8and they captured King Agag alive but killed everyone else with swords. 9However, as well as sparing Agag, they took the best sheep and cattle

Exo 17:8-14:

17:8 Mosheh’s arms held high to defeat Amalek

8Then the Amalek army came and attacked Israel at Refidim, 9and Mosheh instructed Yehoshua (Joshua), “Choose men for us and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I’ll be stationed on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.” 10So Yehoshua prepared to fight Amalek as Mosheh had told him, and Mosheh, Aharon, and Hur climbed up to the top of the hill. 11And so it happened that when Mosheh raised his arm, then Israel would be winning, but when he lowered his arm, then Amalek would start winning. 12However, Mosheh’s arms got tired, so they got a large stone and sat him on it, and Aharon and Hur stood on each side of him holding up his arms, and holding him steady in that position until the sun went down. 13So this was how Yehoshua defeated Amalek and his army with their swords. 14Then Yahweh told Mosheh, “Write this event in the book and read it aloud to Yehoshua, because I will certainly blot out the memory of Amalek from off the earth.”[ref]
