Balaam’s Fifth Message

²⁰ Then Balaam saw Amalek^(A) and spoke his message:

¹⁷ Remember what the Amalekites^(A) did to you along the way when you came out of Egypt.

¹³ Getting the Ammonites^(A) and Amalekites^(B) to join him, Eglon came and attacked Israel, and they took possession of the City of Palms.^[a](C)

³ Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites^(A) and other eastern peoples^(B) invaded the country.

¹² the Sidonians, the Amalekites^(A) and the Maonites^[a](B) oppressed you^(C) and you cried to me for help, did I not save you from their hands?

⁴⁸ He fought valiantly and defeated the Amalekites,^(A) delivering Israel from the hands of those who had plundered them.
