¹⁷ Remember what the Amalekites did to you when you came out of Egypt [Ex. 17:8–16]. ¹⁸ When you were tired and worn out, they met you on the road and ·attacked [picked off] all ·those lagging behind [the stragglers]. They were not afraid of God. ¹⁹ When the Lord your God gives you rest from all the enemies around you in the land he ·is giving you [^Lmakes you inherit] as your ·own [possession], you shall ·destroy [blot/wipe out] any memory of the Amalekites ·on the earth [^Lfrom under the heavens]. Do not forget [^CSaul forgot (1 Sam. 15), but the Amalekites (called Agagites) come to an end in the book of Esther (Esth. 3:1)]!
