    Description

    Amalek in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Amalek was a nomadic people group descended from Esau's grandson, Eliphaz (Genesis 36:12; 1Ch.1.36). They inhabited the desert regions of the Sinai Peninsula and the Negev. The Amalekites were the first nation to attack Israel after the Exodus, at Rephidim (Exodus 17:8-16). Moses, with the help of Aaron and Hur, interceded for Israel while Joshua led the army in battle. As a result, God declared that He would be at war with Amalek from generation to generation (Exodus 17:16).

    The Amalekites, along with other enemies, continued to harass Israel during the period of the judges (Judges 3:13; 6:3,33; 7:12; 10:12). Saul, Israel's first king, was commanded to completely destroy the Amalekites (1Sa.15.2-3). However, he disobeyed by sparing their king, Agag, and some of the livestock (1Sa.15.7-9). This act of disobedience led to God's rejection of Saul as king (1Sa.15.23; 28:18).

    During David's reign, the Amalekites were among the enemies he defeated (1Sa.30.1-20; 2Sa.8.12; 1Ch.18.11). The last mention of the Amalekites is in 1Ch.4.43, which records that some of the Simeonites destroyed the remnant of the Amalekites during the time of Hezekiah.

    The Amalekites are also mentioned in prophetic and poetic texts as symbols of Israel's enemies (Numbers 24:20; Psalm 83:7). Their persistent opposition to Israel and their role in the narratives of Saul and David make them significant adversaries in the biblical history of Israel.

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
