1 Samuel 15:3
Now go: The Amalekites, a people of Arabia Petrea, who inhabited a tract of country on the frontiers of Egypt and Canaan, had acted with great cruelty towards the Israelites on their coming out of Egypt, and God then purposed that Amalek, as a nation, should be blotted out from under heaven; but it had been spared till it had filled up the measure of its iniquities, and now this purpose is carried into effect by Saul, upwards of 400 years afterwards! Nothing could justify such an exterminating decree but the absolute authority of God; and this was given: all the reasons of it we do not know; but this we know well, the Judge of all the earth doeth right. utterly destroy: Lev 27:28, Lev 27:29, Num 24:20, Deu 13:15, Deu 13:16, Deu 20:16-18, Jos 6:17-21 slay: Exo 20:5, Num 31:17, Isa 14:21, Isa 14:22 ox and sheep: Gen 3:17, Gen 3:18, Rom 8:20-22 Reciprocal: Gen 36:12 - Amalek Exo 17:14 - for I will Num 13:29 - Amalekites Num 31:15 - General Deu 2:34 - utterly destroyed Jos 6:21 - utterly Jdg 21:10 - Go and smite 1Sa 14:48 - smote 1Sa 15:8 - Agag 1Sa 15:9 - the best 1Sa 15:11 - hath not performed 1Sa 15:20 - have brought 1Sa 22:19 - men 1Sa 27:9 - and the camels 2Sa 1:8 - an Amalekite 1Ki 8:44 - whithersoever 2Ki 3:19 - And ye 2Ch 6:34 - by the way Est 3:2 - bowed not Est 3:13 - both young Psa 106:34 - concerning Psa 149:7 - General Jer 44:7 - child Jer 44:21 - did Jer 47:7 - the Lord Jer 48:10 - Cursed Jer 50:21 - and do Jer 51:22 - General Lam 2:21 - young Eze 9:6 - old Amo 8:7 - I will Rev 16:1 - and pour
