Thus saith the Lord of hosts
Of the celestial host of angels, and of the army of Israel, yea,
of all the armies of the earth: this is premised to engage the
attention of Saul:
I remember that which Amalek did to Israel;
four hundred years ago:
how he laid wait for him in the way when he came up from
Egypt;
in the valley of Rephidim, just before they came to Mount Sinai,
and fell upon the rear of them, and smote the feeble, and faint,
and weary, see ( Exodus 17:8 ) (
Deuteronomy
25:17-19 )
