²⁰ Then, turning his eyes to Amalek, he went on with his story and said, Amalek was the first of the nations, but his part will be destruction for ever.

¹⁴ And the Lord said to Moses, Make a record of this in a book, so that it may be kept in memory, and say it again in the ears of Joshua: that all memory of Amalek is to be completely uprooted from the earth.

¹⁴ And the king said that this was to be done, and the order was given out in Shushan, and the hanging of Haman's ten sons was effected.

⁹ Then Harbonah, one of the unsexed servants waiting before the king, said, See, the pillar fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who said a good word for the king, is still in its place in Haman's house. Then the king said, Put him to death by hanging him on it.

¹⁰ So Haman was put to death by hanging him on the pillar he had made for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath became less.

¹ After these things, by the order of the king, Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, was lifted up and given a position of honour and a higher place than all the other captains who were with him.

⁴³ And they put to death the rest of the Amalekites who had got away safely, and made it their living-place to this day.

¹⁷ And David went on fighting them from evening till the evening of the day after; and not one of them got away but only four hundred young men who went in flight on camels.

¹ Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the South and on Ziklag, and had overcome Ziklag and put it on fire;

⁸ And David and his men went up and made attacks on the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites; for these were the people who were living in the land from Telam on the way to Shur, as far as Egypt.

⁹ And David again and again made attacks on the land till not a man or a woman was still living; and he took away the sheep and the oxen and the asses and the camels and the clothing; and he came back to Achish.

³ Go now and put Amalek to the sword, putting to the curse all they have, without mercy: put to death every man and woman, every child and baby at the breast, every ox and sheep, camel and ass.

⁴ And Saul sent for the people and had them numbered in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen and ten thousand men of Judah.

⁵ And Saul came to the town of Amalek, and took up his position in the valley secretly.

⁶ And Saul said to the Kenites, Go away, take yourselves out from among the Amalekites, or destruction will overtake you with them: for you were kind to the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt. So the Kenites went away from among the Amalekites.

⁷ And Saul made an attack on the Amalekites from Havilah on the road to Shur, which is before Egypt.

⁸ He took Agag, king of the Amalekites, prisoner, and put all the people to the sword without mercy.

⁴⁸ And he did great things, and overcame the Amalekites, and made Israel safe from the hands of their attackers.

³ And whenever Israel's grain was planted, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east came up against them;

¹⁶ For he said, The Lord has taken his oath that there will be war with Amalek from generation to generation.

⁸ Then Amalek came and made war on Israel in Rephidim.
