Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Samuel 15:2-3

_ _ Amalek — the powerful tribe which inhabited the country immediately to the eastward of the northern Cushites. Their territory extended over the whole of the eastern portion of the desert of Sinai to Rephidim — the earliest opponent (Deuteronomy 25:18; Exodus 17:8-16) — the hereditary and restless enemy of Israel (Numbers 14:45; Judges 3:13; Judges 6:3), and who had not repented (1 Samuel 14:48) of their bitter and sleepless hatred during the five hundred years that had elapsed since their doom was pronounced. Being a people of nomadic habits, they were as plundering and dangerous as the Bedouin Arabs, particularly to the southern tribes. The national interest required, and God, as KING OF ISRAEL, decreed that this public enemy should be removed. Their destruction was to be without reservation or exception.

_ _ I remember — I am reminded of what Amalek did — perhaps by the still remaining trophy or memorial erected by Moses (Exodus 17:15, Exodus 17:16).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Samuel 15:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Samuel 15:2

I remember — Now I will revenge those old injuries of the Amalekites on their children: who continue in their parents practices. Came from Egypt — When he was newly come out of cruel and long bondage, and was now weak, and weary, and faint, and hungry, Deuteronomy 25:18, and therefore it was barbarous instead of that pity which even Nature prompted them to afford, to add affliction to the afflicted; it was also horrid impiety to fight against God himself and to lift up their hand in a manner against the Lord's throne, whilst they struck at that people which God had brought forth in so stupendous a way.
