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

¹⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, ^(A)“Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that ^(B)I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.”

¹⁴ So the king commanded this to be done; the decree was issued in Shushan, and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.

⁹ Now ^(A)Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, “Look! ^(B)The ^[a]gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke ^(C)good on the king’s behalf, is standing at the house of Haman.”

Then the king said, “Hang him on it!”

¹⁰ So ^(D)they ^(E)hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided.

Haman’s Conspiracy Against the Jews

3 After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the ^(A)Agagite, and ^(B)advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.

⁴³ And they ^[a]defeated ^(A)the rest of the Amalekites who had escaped. They have dwelt there to this day.

¹⁷ Then David attacked them from twilight until the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.

David’s Conflict with the Amalekites

30 Now it happened, when David and his men came to ^(A)Ziklag, on the third day, that the ^(B)Amalekites had invaded the South and Ziklag, attacked Ziklag and burned it with fire,

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. ⁹ Whenever David ^[c]attacked the land, he left neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the apparel, and returned and came to Achish.
