¹⁷ “Remember what the Amalekites did to you on the journey after you left Egypt.^(A)

¹³ After Eglon convinced the Ammonites and the Amalekites to join forces with him, he attacked and defeated Israel and took possession of the City of Palms.^[a](A)

³ Whenever the Israelites planted crops, the Midianites, Amalekites, and the people of the east^(A) came and attacked them.

¹² Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites^[a](A) oppressed you, and you cried out to me, did I not deliver you from them?
