FOOTNOTES:

F24 calls them the nation of the Sicimites, who dwelt in the midst of the land of Midian, I know not:

go, depart, get ye down from among the Amalekites;
for though some of these people came with Israel into the land of Canaan, and were first at Jericho, and then came into the wilderness of Judah, ( Judges 1:16 ) and were in other tribes also; yet as they removed from place to place, and from country to country, for the convenience of their flocks and herds, they dwelling in tents, might come into the country of Amalek and pitch there, and as they chose to dwell in rocks, and the caverns of them, to be near their flocks and herds in the valleys, they are called upon to get down from thence, see ( Numbers 24:21 )

lest I destroy you with them;
they dwelling among the Amalekites, might perish with them; and especially as the Amalekites, upon their being routed, would naturally flee to the rocks, hills, and mountains, where these people had their tents, they would be in the greater danger of being destroyed with them, unless they removed:

for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up
out of Egypt;
as Jethro, by the advice he gave to Moses to appoint proper officers in Israel, and Hobab, by being eyes to the people, in conducting them through the wilderness, and accompanying them to the land of Canaan:

so the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites;
took the advice of Saul, and removed and pitched their tents, elsewhere.

1 Samuel 15:6 In-Context

4 Entonces Saúl movilizó a su ejército en Telaim. Eran doscientos mil soldados de Israel y diez mil hombres de Judá.

5 Después Saúl y su ejército fueron a una ciudad de los amalecitas y se pusieron al acecho en el valle.

6 Saúl envió esta advertencia a los ceneos: «Apártense de donde viven los amalecitas o morirán junto con ellos. Pues ustedes fueron bondadosos con el pueblo de Israel cuando salió de Egipto». Así que los ceneos empacaron sus cosas y se fueron.

7 Luego Saúl mató a los amalecitas desde Havila hasta llegar a Shur, al oriente de Egipto.

8 Capturó a Agag, el rey amalecita, pero destruyó por completo a todos los demás.
