1 Samuel 15:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ then led them to a valley near one of the towns in^[a] Amalek, where they got ready to make a surprise attack. ⁶ Some Kenites lived nearby, and Saul told them, “Your people were kind to our nation when we left Egypt, and I don't want you to get killed when I wipe out the Amalekites. So stay away from them.”

The Kenites left, ⁷ and Saul attacked the Amalekites from Havilah^[b] to Shur, which is just east of Egypt.
