Theological / Devotional

Gebal. Probably the mountain country in the northern part of Edom (see Josephus Antiquities ii. 1. 2).

Amalek. A people living south of Palestine between Idumaea and Egypt. They were an ancient people, inveterate foes of Israel. Contrary to God’s command utterly to destroy the Amalekites. Saul spared Agag, their king (see 1 Sam. 15:8–23), and on that account was rejected from being king.
