Exodus 17:8-16
Then Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim.So Moses said to Joshua,“ Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will station myself on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.”Joshua did just as Moses told him, and fought against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.So it came about, when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed; but when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed.And Moses’ hands were heavy. So they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. So his hands were steady until the sun set.And Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Write this in a book as a memorial and recite it to Joshua, that I will utterly wipe out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”And Moses built an altar and named it The Lord is My Banner;and he said,“ Because the Lord has sworn, the Lord will have war against Amalek from generation to generation.”

1 Samuel 27 1-1 Samuel 27 12
Then David said to himself,“ Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to safely escape into the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand.”So David set out and went over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.And David lived with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each with his own household— David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s widow.Now it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.Then David said to Achish,“ If now I have found favor in your sight, have them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, so that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.The number of days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.Now David and his men went up and attacked the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for they were the inhabitants of the land from ancient times, as you come to Shur even as far as the land of Egypt.David attacked the land and did not leave a man or a woman alive, and he took the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned and came to Achish.Now Achish said,“ Where did you carry out an attack today?” And David said,“ Against the Negev of Judah, against the Negev of the Jerahmeelites, and against the Negev of the Kenites.”And David did not leave a man or a woman alive to bring to Gath, saying,“ Otherwise they will tell about us, saying,‘ This is what David has done, and this has been his practice all the time that he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’ ”So Achish believed David, saying,“ He has undoubtedly made himself repulsive among his people Israel; therefore he will become my servant forever.”

1 Samuel 15 1-1 Samuel 15 35
Then Samuel said to Saul,“ The Lord sent me to anoint you as king over His people, over Israel; now therefore, listen to the words of the Lord.This is what the Lord of armies says:‘ I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, in that he obstructed him on the way while he was coming up from Egypt.Now go and strike Amalek and completely destroy everything that he has, and do not spare him; but put to death both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ ”Then Saul summoned the people and counted them in Telaim: two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Judah.And Saul came to the city of Amalek and set an ambush in the wadi.But Saul said to the Kenites,“ Go, get away, go down from among the Amalekites, so that I do not destroy you along with them; for you showed kindness to all the sons of Israel when they went up from Egypt.” So the Kenites got away from among the Amalekites.Then Saul defeated the Amalekites, from Havilah going toward Shur, which is east of Egypt.He captured Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and completely destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the more valuable animals, the lambs, and everything that was good, and were unwilling to destroy them completely; but everything despicable and weak, that they completely destroyed.Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying,“ I regret that I have made Saul king, because he has turned back from following Me and has not carried out My commands.” And Samuel was furious and cried out to the Lord all night.Samuel got up early in the morning to meet Saul; and it was reported to Samuel, saying,“ Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set up a monument for himself, then turned and proceeded on down to Gilgal.”So Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said to him,“ Blessed are you of the Lord! I have carried out the command of the Lord.”But Samuel said,“ What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the bellowing of the oxen which I hear?”Saul said,“ They have brought them from the Amalekites, for the people spared the best of the sheep and oxen to sacrifice to the Lord your God; but the rest we have completely destroyed.”Then Samuel said to Saul,“ Stop, and let me inform you of what the Lord said to me last night.” And he said to him,“ Speak!”So Samuel said,“ Is it not true, though you were insignificant in your own eyes, that you became the head of the tribes of Israel? For the Lord anointed you as king over Israel.And the Lord sent you on a mission, and said,‘ Go and completely destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are eliminated.’Why then did you not obey the voice of the Lord? Instead, you loudly rushed upon the spoils and did what was evil in the sight of the Lord!”Then Saul said to Samuel,“ I did obey the voice of the Lord, for I went on the mission on which the Lord sent me; and I have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have completely destroyed the Amalekites.But the people took some of the spoils, sheep and oxen, the choicest of the things designated for destruction, to sacrifice to the Lord your God at Gilgal.”Samuel said,“ Does the Lord have as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than a sacrifice, And to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.For rebellion is as reprehensible as the sin of divination, And insubordination is as reprehensible as false religion and idolatry. Since you have rejected the word of the Lord, He has also rejected you from being king.”Then Saul said to Samuel,“ I have sinned, for I have violated the command of the Lord and your words, because I feared the people and listened to their voice.Now then, please pardon my sin and return with me, so that I may worship the Lord.”But Samuel said to Saul,“ I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel.”Then Samuel turned to go, but Saul grasped the edge of his robe, and it tore off.So Samuel said to him,“ The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbor, who is better than you.Also the Glory of Israel will not lie nor change His mind; for He is not a man, that He would change His mind.”Then Saul said,“ I have sinned; but please honor me now before the elders of my people and before all Israel, and go back with me, so that I may worship the Lord your God.”So Samuel went back following Saul, and Saul worshiped the Lord.Then Samuel said,“ Bring me Agag, the king of the Amalekites.” And Agag came to him cheerfully. And Agag said,“ Surely the bitterness of death is gone!”But Samuel said,“ As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women.” And Samuel cut Agag to pieces before the Lord at Gilgal.Then Samuel went to Ramah, but Saul went up to his house at Gibeah of Saul.And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, though Samuel mourned for Saul. And the Lord regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.

1 Samuel 30 1-1 Samuel 30 31
Then it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had carried out an attack on the Negev and on Ziklag, and had overthrown Ziklag and burned it with fire;and they took captive the women and all who were in it, from the small to the great, without killing anyone, and drove them off and went their way.When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire, and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive.Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and wept until there was no strength in them to weep.Now David’s two wives had been taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.Also, David was in great distress because the people spoke of stoning him, for all the people were embittered, each one because of his sons and his daughters. But David felt strengthened in the Lord his God.Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech,“ Please bring me the ephod.” So Abiathar brought the ephod to David.And David inquired of the Lord, saying,“ Shall I pursue this band of raiders? Will I overtake them?” And He said to him,“ Pursue, for you will certainly overtake them, and you will certainly rescue everyone.”So David left, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they came to the brook Besor, where some who were left behind stayed.But David pursued, he and four hundred men, for two hundred who were too exhausted to cross the brook Besor stayed behind.Now they found an Egyptian in the field and brought him to David, and gave him bread and he ate, and they provided him water to drink.They also gave him a slice of fig cake and two cakes of raisins, and he ate; then his spirit revived. For he had not eaten bread or drunk water for three days and three nights.Then David said to him,“ To whom do you belong? And where are you from?” And he said,“ I am a young man of Egypt, a servant of an Amalekite; and my master abandoned me when I became sick three days ago.We carried out an attack on the Negev of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.”Then David said to him,“ Will you bring me down to this band of raiders?” And he said,“ Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or hand me over to my master, and I will bring you down to this band.”Now when he had brought him down, behold, they were dispersed over all the land, eating and drinking and celebrating because of all the great plunder that they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.And David slaughtered them from the twilight until the evening of the next day; and not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.So David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and rescued his two wives.And nothing of theirs was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, plunder, or anything that they had taken for themselves; David brought it all back.So David had captured all the sheep and the cattle which the people drove ahead of the other livestock, and they said,“ This is David’s plunder.”When David came to the two hundred men who were too exhausted to follow David and had been left behind at the brook Besor, and they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him, then David approached the people and greeted them.Then all the wicked and worthless men among those who went with David said,“ Since they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoils that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, so that they may lead them away and leave.”But David said,“ You must not do so, my brothers, with what the Lord has given us, for He has protected us and handed over to us the band of raiders that came against us.And who will listen to you in this matter? For as is the share of the one who goes down into the battle, so shall be the share of the one who stays by the baggage; they shall share alike.”So it has been from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.Now when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the spoils to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying,“ Behold, a gift for you from the spoils of the enemies of the Lord:to those who were in Bethel, to those who were in Ramoth of the Negev, to those who were in Jattir,to those who were in Aroer, to those who were in Siphmoth, to those who were in Eshtemoa,to those who were in Racal, to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,to those who were in Hormah, to those who were in Bor ashan, to those who were in Athach,to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men walked.”
