Commentary on Deuteronomy 25:19

Theological / Devotional

Blot out. The Lord is a God of love and righteousness. The command to wipe out the Amalekites as a nation was first addressed to Joshua (Exodus 17:14), but the actual work of judgment upon this people, which had filled up its cup of iniquity, was carried out in stages. Barak and Gideon (Judges 5:14; 6:3; 7:12), Saul and Samuel (1 Samuel 15:1-9), and David (1 Samuel 27:8, 9; 30:1, 17), all participated in executing the decree against them. Finally came the children of Simeon, who completed the task (1 Chronicles 4:42, 43).
