Amalek
Suku yang tinggal di Arabia Petraea, di antara Laut Mati dan Laut Merah. Mereka bukan keturunan Amalek anak Elifas, karena mereka sudah ada pada zaman Abraham (Kejadian 14:7). Mereka kemungkinan adalah suku yang bermigrasi dari pantai Teluk Persia dan menetap di Arabia. “Mereka diam di Tanah Negeb... dari Hawila sampai ke Syur” (Bilangan 13:29; 1 Samuel 15:7). Mereka adalah bangsa penggembala, dan karena itu bersifat nomaden. Raja-raja mereka menyandang nama turun-temurun Agag (Bilangan 24:7; 1 Samuel 15:8). Mereka berusaha menghentikan orang Israel ketika mereka berbaris melewati wilayah mereka (Ulangan 25:18), menyerang mereka di Rafidim (Keluaran 17:8-13; bd. Ulangan 25:17; 1 Samuel 15:2). Mereka kemudian menyerang orang Israel di Horma (Bilangan 14:45). Selanjutnya kita membaca tentang mereka yang bersekutu dengan orang Moab (Hakim-hakim 3:13) dan orang Midian (Hakim-hakim 6:3). Saul akhirnya memusnahkan wilayah mereka dan menghancurkan kekuatan mereka (1 Samuel 14:48; 15:3), dan Daud merebut kembali barang jarahan dari mereka (1 Samuel 30:18-20). Dalam prasasti Babel mereka disebut Sute, dalam prasasti Mesir disebut Sittiu, dan surat-surat Amarna memasukkan mereka di bawah nama umum Khabbati, atau “perampok.”
