⁴⁵ Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who dwelt in that mountain came down and attacked them, and drove them back as far as ^(A)Hormah.

³ And the Lord listened to the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites, and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. So the name of that place was called ^[a]Hormah.

^17 (A)And Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they attacked the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. So the name of the city was called ^(B)Hormah.

⁴⁴ And the Amorites who dwelt in that mountain came out against you and chased you ^(A)as bees do, and drove you back from Seir to Hormah.

⁴³ For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; ^(A)because you have turned away from the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.”

¹¹ Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. ^(A)For they have even taken some of the ^[a]accursed things, and have both stolen and ^(B)deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff. ^12 (C)Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because ^(D)they have become doomed to destruction. Neither will I be with you anymore, unless you destroy the accursed from among you.

⁵ And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six men, for they chased them from before the gate as far as Shebarim, and struck them down on the descent; therefore ^(A)the^[a] hearts of the people melted and became like water.

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