17"Remember what the Amalekites did to you as you were coming from Egypt.H2142H6002H6213H1870H3318H4714 18They had no fear of God, and so they attacked you from the rear when you were tired and exhausted, and killed all who were straggling behind.H7136H1870H2179H2826H310H5889H3023H3373H430 19So then, when the LORD your God has given you the land and made you safe from all your enemies who live around you, be sure to kill all the Amalekites, so that no one will remember them any longer.
