- the Amalekites:
- "For¹ the Amalekitesª and the Canaanitesª [are] there¹ beforeª you, and ye shall fallª° by the sword:ª because¹¹¹ ye are turned²° away²¹ from¹¹ the LORD,ª therefore the LORDª will not¹ be¹ with¹ you." {Num 14:43} + "For he said,ª° Because¹ the LORDª hath swornªª¹ [that] the LORDª [will have] warª with Amalekª from generationª¹ to generation.ª" {Exd 17:16} + "And the Amorites,ª which dweltª° in that¹ mountain,ª came outª° againstª° you, and chasedª° you, as¹ beesª do,ª° and destroyedª° you in Seir,ª [even] unto¹ Hormah.ª" {Deu 1:44} + "How¹ should oneª chaseª° a thousand,ª and twoª put¹ ten² thousand²¹ to flight,ª° exceptª¹¹ their Rockª had soldª° them,² and the LORDª had shut them up?ª°" {Deu 32:30} + "And the men²¹ of Aiª smoteª° of¹ them about thirtyª and sixª men:ª for they chasedª° them [from] beforeª the gateª [even] unto¹ Shebarim,ª and smoteª° them in the going down:ª wherefore the heartsª of the peopleª melted,ª° and became¹ as water.ª" {Jsh 7:5} + "Israelª hath sinned,ª° and they have also¹ transgressedª°¹ my covenantª which¹ I commandedª° them: for they have even¹ takenª° of¹ the accursed thing,ª and have also¹ stolen,ª° and dissembledª° also,¹ and they have putª° [it] even¹ among their own stuff.ª ... Therefore the childrenª of Israelª couldª° not¹ standª° beforeª their enemies,ª° [but] turnedª° [their] backsª beforeª their enemies,ª° because¹ they were¹ accursed:ª neither¹ will I be¹ with¹ you any more,ª° exceptª¹ ye destroyª° the accursedª from amongª¹ you." {Jsh 7:11-12}
