Therefore she called the well, The well of Him whom I have openly seen; behold it is between Kadesh and Bered.

And Abraham journeyed from there to the southern country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.

And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, came into the Wilderness of Zin, in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh. And Miriam died there, and was buried there.

And we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite, as the Lord our God charged us, and we came as far as Kadesh Barnea.

And you dwelt in Kadesh many days, as many days as you dwelt [there].

And Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, the son of Esau; and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These are the sons of Adah, the wife of Esau.

Chief Korah, Chief Gatam, and Chief Amalek. These are the chiefs of Eliphaz, in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Adah.

And Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

And Joshua did as Moses said to him, and he went out and set the army in array against Amalek, and Moses and Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

But the hands of Moses were heavy, and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on this side and the other on that, and the hands of Moses were supported till the going down of the sun.

And the Lord said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and speak in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly blot out the memorial of Amalek from under heaven.

For with a secret hand the Lord wages war upon Amalek to all generations.

For Amalek and the Canaanite [are] there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; because you have disobeyed the Lord and turned aside, and the Lord will not be among you.

And Amalek and the Canaanite that dwelt in that mountain came down, and routed them, and destroyed them unto Herman; and they returned to the camp.

And having seen Amalek, he took up his parable and said, Amalek [is] the first of the nations; yet his seed shall perish.

And Samuel said to Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint you king over Israel. And now hear the voice of the Lord.

And now go, and you shall strike Amalek and Hierim and all that belongs to him, and you shall not save anything of his alive, but you shall utterly destroy him. And you shall devote him and all his [to destruction], and you shall spare nothing belonging to him; and you shall slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, calf and sheep, camel and donkey.

And Saul came to the cities of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.

And Saul struck Amalek from Havilah to Shur, fronting Egypt.

And Saul and all the people saved Agag alive, and the best of the flocks, and of the herds, and of the fruits, of the vineyards, and of all the good things; and they would not destroy them. But every worthless and despised thing they destroyed.

I greatly regret that I have made Saul to be king; for he has turned back from following Me, and has not kept My word. And Samuel was grieved, and cried to the Lord all night.

And Samuel came to Saul. And Saul said to him, Blessed are you of the Lord; I have performed all that the Lord said.

And Saul said, I have brought them out of Amalek, that which the people preserved, even the best of the sheep, and of the cattle, that it might be sacrificed to the Lord your God, and the rest I have utterly destroyed.

And Samuel said to Saul, Are you not little in His eyes, [though] a leader of one of the tribes of Israel? And [yet] the Lord anointed you to be king over Israel.

And why did you not listen to the voice of the Lord, but instead swoop down upon the spoils, and do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord?

But the people took of the spoils, the best flocks and herds out of that which was destroyed, to sacrifice before the Lord our God in Gilgal.

For sin is as divination; idols bring on pain and grief. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord also shall reject you from being king over Israel.

And now remove my sin, I pray, and turn back with me, and I will worship the Lord your God.

And Samuel turned his face to depart, and Saul caught hold of the edge of his robe, and tore it.

And Israel shall be divided in two: and [God] will not turn nor repent, for He is not as a man to repent.

So Samuel turned back after Saul, and he worshipped the Lord.

And Samuel said to Agag, As your sword has bereaved women of their children, so shall your mother be made childless among women. And Samuel hacked Agag [to pieces] before the Lord in Gilgal.

And Samuel did not see Saul again till the day of his death, for Samuel mourned after Saul, and the Lord regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.

And David said in his heart, Now shall I be one day delivered [for death] into the hands of Saul; and there is nothing better for me unless I should escape into the land of the Philistines, and Saul should cease from seeking me through every coast of Israel. So I shall escape out of his hand.

And David dwelt with Achish, he and his men, each with his family; and David and both his wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

And David said to Achish, If now your servant has found grace in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, and I will dwell there; for why does your servant dwell with you in a royal city?

And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was four months.

And he attacked the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive; and they took flocks, herds, donkeys, camels, and clothing; and they returned and came to Achish.

And I have not saved man or woman alive to bring them to Gath, saying, Lest they carry a report to Gath against us, saying, These things David does. And this was his manner all the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines.

And it came to pass when David and his men had entered Ziklag on the third day, that Amalek had made an incursion upon the south, and upon Ziklag, and attacked Ziklag, and burned it with fire.

And David and his men came into the city, and behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters were carried away captive.

And both the wives of David were carried captive, Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

And David said to Abiathar the priest the son of Ahimelech, Bring the ephod here to me.

So David went, he and the six hundred men with him, and they came as far as the brook Besor, and the superfluous ones stopped.

And they found an Egyptian in the field, and they took him, and brought him to David. And they gave him bread and he ate, and they caused him to drink water.

And David said to him, to whom do you [belong]? And where are you from? And the young man the Egyptian said, I am the servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me, because I was taken ill three days ago.

And David said to him, Will you bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear now to me by God, that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down upon this troop.

And David came upon them, and attacked them from the morning till the evening, and on the next day; and not one of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who were mounted on camels, and fled.

And nothing was lacking to them, great or small; either of the spoils, or the sons and daughters, or anything that they had taken of theirs. And David recovered all.

And David came to the two hundred men who were left behind, that they should not follow after David, and he had caused them to remain by the brook of Besor. And they came forth to meet David, and to meet his people with him. And David drew near to the people, and they asked him how he did [it].

And David said, You shall not do so, after the Lord has delivered [the enemy] to us, and guarded us, and the Lord has delivered into our hands the troop that came against you.

And it came to pass from that day forward, that it became an ordinance and a custom in Israel until this day.

to those in Bethel, and to those in Ramoth of the south, and to those in Jattir.

and to those in Carmel, and to those in the cities of Jeremeel, and to those in the cities of the Kenite;

and to those in Hebron, and to all the places which David and his men had passed through.

Aeochioza, Naphlazon, the cities of Sadon, and En Gedi; seven cities, and their villages.

And they came and told Jehoshaphat, saying, A great multitude is coming against you from Syria, from beyond the sea; and behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar, which is En Gedi.
