17 'Remember that which Amalek hath done to thee in the way, in your going out from Egypt, 18 that he hath met thee in the way, and smiteth in all those feeble behind thee (and thou wearied and fatigued), and is not fearing God. 19 And it hath been, in Jehovah thy God's giving rest to thee, from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee—an inheritance to possess it—thou dost blot out the rememberance of Amalek from under the heavens—thou dost not forget.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 25:17-19
Commentary on Deuteronomy 25:17-19
(Read Deuteronomy 25:17-19)
Let every persecutor and injurer of God's people take warning from the case of the Amalekites. The longer it is before judgement comes, the more dreadful will it be at last. Amalek may remind us of the foes of our souls. May we be enabled to slay all our lusts, all the corruptions both within and without, all the powers of darkness and of the world, which oppose our way to the blessed Saviour.
