The Lord your God will give you peace and rest from all the enemies around you. He’ll do this in the land he’s giving you to take over as your very own. No one on earth will mention the Amalekites ever again because you will destroy them. Do not forget!

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ This is something to be remembered. So write it on a scroll. Make sure Joshua knows you have done it. I will completely erase the memory of the Amalekites from the earth.”

He said,“ The Amalekites opposed the authority of the Lord. So the Lord will fight against the Amalekites for all time to come.”

He fought bravely. He won the battle over the Amalekites. He saved Israel from the power of those who had carried off what belonged to Israel.

Do not try to stop me. I am going to destroy them. I will wipe them out from the earth. Then I will make you into a great nation. Your people will be stronger than they were. There will be more of you than there were of them.”

Samuel said to Saul,“ The Lord sent me to anoint you as king over his people Israel. So listen now to a message from him.The Lord who rules over all says,‘ I will punish the Amalekites because of what they did to Israel. As the Israelites came up from Egypt, the Amalekites attacked them.Now go. Attack the Amalekites. Completely destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare the Amalekites. Put the men and women to death. Put the children and babies to death. Also kill the cattle, sheep, camels and donkeys.’ ”So Saul brought his men together at Telaim. The total number was 200,000 soldiers on foot from Israel and 10,000 from Judah.Saul went to the city of Amalek. Then Saul had some of his men hide and wait in the valley.Then Saul said to the Kenites,“ You were kind to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt. Get away from the Amalekites. Then I won’t have to destroy you along with them.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.Saul attacked the Amalekites. He struck them down all the way from Havilah to Shur. Shur was near the eastern border of Egypt.Saul captured Agag, the king of the Amalekites. But he and his men totally destroyed with their swords all Agag’s people.So Saul and the army spared Agag. They spared the best of the sheep and cattle. They spared the fat calves and lambs. They spared everything that was valuable. They weren’t willing to completely destroy any of those things. But they totally destroyed everything that was worthless and weak.Then the Lord gave Samuel a message. He said,“ I am very sad I have made Saul king. He has turned away from me. He has not done what I directed him to do.” When Samuel heard that, he was angry. He cried out to the Lord during that whole night.Early the next morning Samuel got up. He went to see Saul. But Samuel was told,“ Saul went to Carmel. There he set up a monument in his own honor. Now he has gone on down to Gilgal.”When Samuel got there, Saul said,“ May the Lord bless you. I’ve done what he directed me to do.”But Samuel said,“ Then why do I hear the baaing of sheep? Why do I hear the mooing of cattle?”Saul answered,“ The soldiers brought them from the Amalekites. They spared the best of the sheep and cattle. They did it to sacrifice them to the Lord your God. But we totally destroyed everything else.”“ That’s enough!” Samuel said to Saul.“ Let me tell you what the Lord said to me last night.”“ Tell me,” Saul replied.Samuel said,“ There was a time when you didn’t think you were important. But you became the leader of the tribes of Israel. The Lord anointed you to be king over Israel.He sent you to do something for him. He said,‘ Go and completely destroy the Amalekites. Go and destroy those evil people. Fight against them until you have wiped them out.’Why didn’t you obey the Lord? Why did you keep for yourselves what you had taken from your enemies? Why did you do what is evil in the sight of the Lord?”“ But I did obey the Lord,” Saul said.“ I went to do what he sent me to do. I completely destroyed the Amalekites. I brought back Agag, their king.The soldiers took sheep and cattle from what had been taken from our enemies. They took the best of what had been set apart to God. They wanted to sacrifice them to the Lord your God at Gilgal.”But Samuel replied,“ What pleases the Lord more? Burnt offerings and sacrifices, or obeying the Lord? It is better to obey than to offer a sacrifice. It is better to do what he says than to offer the fat of rams.Refusing to obey the Lord is as sinful as using evil magic. Being proud is as evil as worshiping statues of gods. You have refused to do what the Lord told you to do. So he has refused to have you as king.”Then Saul said to Samuel,“ I have sinned. I’ve broken the Lord’ s command. I haven’t done what you directed me to do. I was afraid of the men. So I did what they said I should do.Now I beg you, forgive my sin. Come back into town with me so I can worship the Lord.”But Samuel said to him,“ I won’t go back with you. You have refused to do what the Lord told you to do. So he has refused to have you as king over Israel!”Samuel turned to leave. But Saul grabbed the hem of his robe, and it tore.Samuel said to Saul,“ The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel away from you today. He has given it to one of your neighbors. He has given it to someone better than you.The God who is the Glory of Israel does not lie. He doesn’t change his mind. That’s because he isn’t a mere human being. If he were, he might change his mind.”Saul replied,“ I have sinned. But please honor me in front of the elders of my people and in front of Israel. Come back with me so I can worship the Lord your God.”So Samuel went back with Saul. And Saul worshiped the Lord.Then Samuel said,“ Bring me Agag, the king of the Amalekites.” Agag was in chains when he came to Samuel. Agag thought,“ The time for me to be put to death must have passed by now.”But Samuel said,“ Your sword has killed the children of other women. So the child of your mother will be killed.” Samuel put Agag to death at Gilgal in front of the Lord.Then Samuel left to go to Ramah. But Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.Until the day Samuel died, he didn’t go to see Saul again. Samuel was filled with sorrow because of Saul. And the Lord was very sad he had made Saul king over Israel.

March around the city once with all your fighting men. In fact, do it for six days.

So they did. And they used the pole Haman had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s anger calmed down.

Sometimes David and his men would go up and attack the Geshurites. At other times they would attack the Girzites or the Amalekites. All those people had lived in the land that reached all the way to Shur and Egypt. They had been there for a long time.

That is why the Israelites can’t stand up against their enemies. They turn their backs and run. That’s because I have decided to let them be destroyed. You must destroy the things you took that had been set apart to me. If you do not, I will not be with you anymore.

After those events, King Xerxes honored Haman. Haman was the son of Hammedatha. He was from the family line of Agag. The king gave Haman a higher position than he had before. He gave him a seat of honor. It was higher than the positions any of the other nobles had.

So Joshua sent some messengers. They ran to Achan’s tent. And there was everything, hidden in his tent! The silver was on the bottom.They brought the things out of the tent. They took them to Joshua and all the Israelites. And they spread them out in the sight of the Lord.Then Joshua and all the people grabbed Achan, the son of Zerah. They took the silver, the robe and the gold bar. They took Achan’s sons and daughters. They took his cattle, donkeys and sheep. They also took his tent and everything he had. They carried all of it out to the Valley of Achor.Joshua said to Achan,“ Why have you brought this trouble on us? The Lord will bring trouble on you today.” Then all the people killed Achan by throwing stones at him. They also killed the rest of his family with stones. They burned all of them up.

They also include the people of Byblos, Ammon, Amalek, Philistia and Tyre.Even Assyria has joined them to give strength to the people of Moab and Ammon.Do to them what you did to the people of Midian. Do to them what you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.Sisera and Jabin died near the town of Endor. Their bodies were left on the ground like human waste.Do to the nobles of your enemies what you did to Oreb and Zeeb. Do to all their princes what you did to Zebah and Zalmunna.They said,“ Let’s take over the grasslands that belong to God.”My God, make them like straw that the wind blows away. Make them like tumbleweed.Destroy them as fire burns up a forest. Destroy them as a flame sets mountains on fire.Chase them with your mighty winds. Terrify them with your storm.Lord, put them to shame so that they will seek you.May they always be filled with terror and shame. May they die in dishonor.

A long time had passed. The Lord had given Israel peace and rest from all their enemies around them. By that time Joshua was very old.

They killed the rest of the Amalekites who had escaped. And they still live there to this day.

They also killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai and Vaizatha.They were the ten sons of Haman. He was the son of Hammedatha. Haman had been the enemy of the Jews. They didn’t take anything that belonged to their enemies.

On the third day David and his men arrived in Ziklag. The Amalekites had attacked the people of the Negev Desert. They had also attacked Ziklag and burned it.They had captured the women and everyone else in Ziklag. They had taken as prisoners young people and old people alike. But they didn’t kill any of them. Instead, they carried them off as they went on their way.David and his men reached Ziklag. They saw that it had been destroyed by fire. They found out that their wives and sons and daughters had been captured.So David and his men began to weep out loud. They wept until they couldn’t weep anymore.David’s two wives had been captured. Their names were Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail from Carmel. Abigail was Nabal’s widow.David was greatly troubled. His men were even talking about killing him by throwing stones at him. All of them were very bitter because their sons and daughters had been taken away. But David was made strong by the Lord his God.Then David spoke to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelek. He said,“ Bring me the linen apron.” Abiathar brought it to him.
