Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived there attacked and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hormah.

The LORD heard them and helped them conquer the Canaanites. So the Israelites completely destroyed them and their cities, and named the place Hormah.

When the Canaanite king of Arad in the southern part of Canaan heard that the Israelites were coming by way of Atharim, he attacked them and captured some of them.
