Victory over the Amalekites^(A)

^8 (B)Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

¹⁶ for he said, “Because ^[a]the Lord has ^(A)sworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

²⁰ Then he looked on Amalek, and he took up his oracle and said:

Destroy the Amalekites

^17 (A)“Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt,

¹⁹ Therefore it shall be, ^(A)when the Lord your God has given you rest from your enemies all around, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, that you will ^(B)blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. You shall not forget.

² Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, ^(A)how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt.

⁸ And David and his men went up and raided ^(A)the Geshurites, ^(B)the ^[a]Girzites, and the ^(C)Amalekites. For those nations were the inhabitants of the land from ^[b]of old, ^(D)as you go to Shur, even as far as the land of Egypt.
