Amalekites infested the Sinaitic Peninsula (Exo 17:8-15<\/span>; Deu 25:17<\/span>) and harried southern Palestine (1Sa 15:2<\/span>).<\/p>\n Verse 12<\/span>. Timna was concubine to Eliphaz<\/B><\/I>] As Timna was sister to Lotan<\/I> the Horite, Ge 36:22<\/span>, we see how the family of Esau and the Horites got intermixed. This might give the sons of Esau a pretext to seize the land, and expel the ancient inhabitants, as we find they did, De 2:12<\/span>.<\/P> <\/P> Amalek<\/B><\/I>] The father of the Amalekites, afterwards bitter enemies to the Jews, and whom God commanded to be entirely exterminated, De 25:17<\/span>; De 25:19<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz, Esau’s son<\/strong>,….

As Balaam describes Amalek as the beginning of nations (so the Heb., Num. 24:20<\/span>), the race can scarcely have had so ignoble an origin as to have sprung from a concubine of Eliphaz; for we gather from Amo. 6:1<\/span> that the phrase used by Balaam implied precedence and nobility. It was, moreover, one of the most widely spread races of antiquity, occupying the whole country from Shur, on the borders of Egypt, to Havilah, in Arabia Felix. But probably there was a fusion of some of the Horites with the Amalekites, just as the Kenezites, under Caleb, were fused into the tribe of Judah. For in 1Ch. 4:42-43<\/span>, we find the Simeonites invading Mount Seir, and smiting Amalekites there. Of these Amalekites in Seir, Amalek, the grandson of Esau, was probably the founder; for in Gen. 36:16<\/span> he is called a duke, <\/em>and therefore one district of the country would belong to his descendants, in the same manner as each son of Jacob had a territory called after his name. In this district the chiefs would be Semites of the race of Esau; the mass of the people a blended race of Horites. and Amalekites. There is no difficulty in the absence of their names from Genesis 10<\/span>. Though Balaam magnified them, they were regarded by Israel, not as a nation, but as a hateful horde of plunderers.<\/p>\n Amalek.
