	The Amalekites (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Shortly after the Israelites left Egypt and were wondering the desert, the Amalekites attacked the weary nation, slaughtering the weak and elderly.
		The Israelites, under the leadership of Joshua, later avenged the attack and defeated the Amalekites, but failed to completely eradicate the nation.
		Today, the name Amalek is a symbol for evil and hatred against Jews, and Haman, the Persian leader who vowed to destroy all Jews, is considered a descendant of Agag, king of the Amalekites.

	Amalek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some interpret Gen. 14:7 (which refers to the "land of the Amalekites"), to mean that the Amalekites existed as early as the time of Abraham, in the region that would later become the Roman province of Arabia Petraea [3].
		In the Pentateuch, the Amalekites are nomads who attacked the Hebrews at Rephidim in the desert of Sinai during their exodus from Egypt: "smiting the hindmost, all that were feeble behind," (1 Samuel 15:2).
		The Tanakh recognizes the Amalekites as indigenous tribesmen, "the first of the nations" (Numbers 24:20) In the southern lowlands too, perhaps the dry grazing lands that are now the Negev (Num.

		Other encounters with Amalekites include the story of the very sick Egyptian servant of an Amalekite who was dumped in the desert and left to die because his Amalekite master didn't want to be bothered with him (2Sam.30:11-13).
		Then, there is the Amalekite who confidently strode into David's camp with the dead King Saul's crown and arm bracelet, claiming to have been the one who put the bleeding and helpless King out of his misery.
		Naturally, the Amalekites had spied out the city before their attack, and they had learned that David and his men were far away, marching north to help the Philistine king Achish in his war with Israel.

	Mr. Till, Your Legs Are Unequal!
		Amalekite military units that were out of the country when Saul descended upon the nation would have escaped destruction.
		Five, Till says the massacre of the Amalekites violated Yahweh's own edict that said iniquity would be borne by the one who committed it, not his descendants (Ezek.
		As ridiculous as he thinks my position on the Amalekite massacre is, my belief that it is impossible to have a moral atrocity in the absence of an objective moral standard against which to measure thoughts, words, and deeds is even more ridiculous to him.

	The Destruction of the Amalekites
		The Amalekites attacked the Israelites without apparent provocation as they were travelling during the Exodus (Ex 17:8).
		The Amalekites that Saul and David warred against were clearly no better than their ancestors who had first waylaid Israel.
		The remnant of the Amalekites were finally destroyed by the Israelites many years later (1 Chr 4:43).

	The Amalekites by Chuck Morse - Sierra Times.com
		What set the Amalekite attack apart from other skirmishes recorded in the Torah was that the Amalekites, rather than employing conventional rules of war in existence at the time, chose to deliberately strike at the rear of the Israelite caravan where woman, children, the elderly and the infirm traveled.
		The telltale sign of the Amalekite is when there is no respect for law, no recognition of limitation, and no qualms about annialating anyone with whom he perceives as standing in the way.
		If the Amalekites, and those who provide them with support and succor, are not brought to the bar of justice, if it is not demonstrated, in vigorous terms, that such evil law-breakers will not be tolerated, than civilization will be doomed.

	Commentary on the Whole Bible Volume II (Joshua to Esther) \| Christian Classics Ethereal Library
		But now that he was to attack the Amalekites by express order from heaven, in which he was sure of victory, he had thousands at his call.
		Many of them, at this time, dwelt among the Amalekites, where, though they dwelt in tents, they were fortified by nature, for they put their nest in a rock, being hardy people that could live any where, and affected fastnesses, Num.
		Saul prevailed against the Amalekites, for it was rather an execution of condemned malefactors than a war with contending enemies.

	Purim
		This was the third of the four wars to be fought against Amalek, an evil nation which, unlike the rest of the gentile world, is permanently engaged in a battle to remove G-d, His Law and the messengers of that Law (the Jews) from the world.
		The Amalekites knew then (as they do now) that they could not win on their own, without the help of the Seventy Nations, but, like the first person into a pool of hot water, hoped to pave the way for others to follow.
		In the second war, the Amalekites attacked the Jewish people as they were preparing to enter the Land of Israel, at the end of their forty years of wandering in the desert.

	Then Came Amalek
		The Israelites were attacked by the Amalekites in extreme northwestern Arabia, in an area about two hundred miles south of the Dead Sea; and the Amalekites also occupied parts of the land of Canaan at this time.
		Thus, the Amalekites of Gen. 14:7 and the Amalekites descending from Esau both occupied the same general territory and apparently became one people (one merging with the other).
		To see the true place and significance of the Amalekites in Scripture and to properly understand the typology involved at different points where these people are mentioned, one needs to go back and look at Esau as a progenitor of the Amalekites.

	AMALEK
		That the Amalekites were not Arabs, but of a stock related to the Edomites (consequently also to the Hebrews), can be concluded from the genealogy in Gen. xxxvi.

	Saul's War With The Amalekites, And Conquest Of Them
		Accordingly, Saul made an irruption into the country of the Amalekites, and set many men in several parties in ambush at the river, that so he might not only do them a mischief by open fighting, but might fall upon them unexpectedly in the ways, and might thereby compass them round about, and kill them.
		And when that undertaking had succeeded, according as God had foretold, he set upon the cities of the Amalekites; he besieged them, and took them by force, partly by warlike machines, partly by mines dug under ground, and partly by building walls on the outsides.
		Samuel said, "As thou hast made many of the Hebrew mothers to lament and bewail the loss of their children, so shalt thou, by thy death, cause thy mother to lament thee also." Accordingly, he gave order to slay him immediately at Gilgal, and then went away to the city Ramah.

		Being modern Amalekites, they have chosen the same place—the approaches to the Holy Land—and the same people—the eternal nation of Israel—as the object of their historic crime.

		The Amalekites were a tribe of warlike people whom we hear of from time to time in the story.
		These people were called "Midianites and Amalekites and children of the east." The Amalekites were an enemy of Israel, and Samuel brought Saul a command from the Lord to go and destroy the Amalekites and their cattle and all that they had.
		Havilah was the eastern limit of the Amalekite country, and Shur, "the wall," the border of Egypt, was the western limit.

	Christian CADRE--A Reasonable Understanding of the Destruction of the Amalekites
		The Amalekites were not judged because they weren’t God’s chosen people, but because God knew that each individual in the Amalekite culture—children and infants included—would not accept God’s payment of their sin debt under any circumstances.
		Moreover, the eradication of the Amalekites was not a “sudden” turn where God ordered the attack on a nation that had had nothing to do with the nation of Israel for 400 years.
		It was the Amalekites who were evil, and it was the judgment of God through the Israelites on the Amalekites that led to their destruction.

	27. His Pursuit of the Amalekites
		But though his company was now reduced by one third, and, as verse 17 plainly intimates, was far inferior to the Forces of the Amalekites, yet David relied implicitly on the Word of the Lord, and continued to push forward.
		David was pursuing the Amalekites, and from this incident we gather that he knew not in which direction they had gone, nor how far ahead they were.
		Strikingly did this adumbrate the fact that when an elect sinner has been brought to Christ, and been given the bread and water of life, he takes his proper place, and candidly acknowledges what he was and is by nature.

	shouldn't the butchering of the Amalekite children be considered war crimes?
		The Amalekites undoubtedly saw the conquests of Joshua, but there is no mention of them in the biblical record during this 10-25 year period.
		The execution of the king of the Amalekites by Samuel (in 1 Samuel 15) shows that the judgment on the Amalekites was not SOLELY due to the ancient, initial savagery against Israel, but also included PRESENT atrocities as well.
		The Amalekites were not PART of Canaan (which would have had a million plus folks)--they were a nomadic tribe of marauding bands, living in the southern Negev (desert region).

	Were the Amalekites REALLY nomads?
		You say that the Amalekites were nomads and as such it was merciful to kill the women and children.
		So, I have to conclude that there is no actual mention of 'vineyards' or 'fruits' (although the Amalekites would have had fruits from their raiding of other peoples, probably) in the original Hebrew texts.
		The word 'vineyard' in the later Greek translation of the Hebrew original is simply a mistranslation of the Hebrew, and modern translators (Christian or Jewish) never make the same mistake.

	CADRE Comments: The Evil Amalekites (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The question is whether I should accept Freezbee’s interpretation that the Amalekites were good guys who have been given a bad name or the interpretation of virtually all other Biblical commentaries that I read that the Amalekites were truly evil people.
		Now, Freezbee simply tries to downplay these accounts by noting that the Amalekites are "simply running along with the others to punish Israel," but that simply downplays that they are the willing accomplices to these efforts to destroy Israel in the OT times.
		Compare with that the Ammonites and the Moabites, almost as despised as the Amalekites, were supposed to have come from an incestuous relation between Lot and his two daughters.

		This comparison underscores the fact that the Hyksos of history were the Amalekites of the Scriptures.

		For the most part this was probably true but underneath the serenity their must have been a seething wish to be free again.
