45. What Was the Fate of Amalek?

The Amalekites were a wicked, oppressive, war-like and cruel people. They were powerful and influential and possessed cities in the south of Canaan. (See 1Sa_15:18; Jdg_10:12; Num_24:7.) They were the first to oppose Israel (Exo_17:8) ; Saul overcame them (1Sa_14:1-52*48); David invaded their land (1Sa_30:1-2), and what was left of them was completely destroyed during the reign of Hezekiah (1Ch_4:41-43).
