He also foretold that the Amalekites should utterly be destroyed; and that hereafter none of them should remain, because they fought against the Hebrews, and this when they were in the wilderness, and in their distress also.

Moreover, he refreshed the army with feasting.

And thus did they fight this first battle with those that ventured to oppose them, after they were gone out of Egypt.

But when Moses had celebrated this festival for the victory, he permitted the Hebrews to rest for a few days, and then he brought them out after the fight, in order of battle; for they had now many soldiers in light armor.
