     * Now go.
       The Amalekites, a people of Arabia Petr(9161), who inhabited a
       tract of country on the frontiers of Egypt and Canaan, had
       acted with great cruelty towards the Israelites on their
       coming out of Egypt, and God then purposed that Amalek, as a
       nation, should be blotted out from under heaven; but it had
       been spared till it had filled up the measure of its
       iniquities, and now this purpose is carried into effect by
       Saul, upwards of 400; years afterwards!  Nothing could justify
       such an exterminating decree but the absolute authority of
       God; and this was given:  all the reasons of it we do not
       know; but this we know well, the Judge of all the earth doeth
       right.

     * utterly destroy.
