Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the term "Amalekite" in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as the term is specific to the Hebrew context and narrative. However, references to the Amalekites in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) would use transliterations of the Hebrew name.

Usage: The term "Amalekite" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the people who were descendants of Amalek. They are often depicted as adversaries of the Israelites.

Context: The Amalekites were a nomadic tribe, traditionally considered to be descendants of Amalek, the grandson of Esau. They are first mentioned in the Bible during the time of Abraham and are noted for their hostility towards the Israelites. The Amalekites attacked the Israelites at Rephidim shortly after the Exodus from Egypt, leading to a significant battle in which Joshua led the Israelites to victory (Exodus 17:8-16). This encounter established a long-standing enmity between the two peoples.

The Amalekites are frequently mentioned throughout the Old Testament as persistent enemies of Israel. In the book of 1 Samuel, King Saul is commanded by God to destroy the Amalekites completely, but he fails to fully carry out this command, leading to his rejection as king (1 Samuel 15). The Amalekites continued to be a thorn in Israel's side, with later encounters recorded during the reigns of David and beyond.

The Amalekites are often symbolically associated with opposition to God's people and are used as a representation of evil and hostility towards God's purposes. Their ultimate fate is one of destruction, as prophesied in various passages, including the book of Numbers (Numbers 24:20).
