Some judgments in Scripture fall like lightning, in the same chapter as the sin. This one took four centuries. Amalek attacked Israel in the wilderness, and not the fighting men: the stragglers, the old, the weak, the ones at the back of the line. Yahweh swore war against Amalek from generation to generation, told Israel to remember, and then waited. This lesson walks the whole arc: the crime at Rephidim, the command to remember, the reckoning under Saul, the king who obeyed almost, and the Agagite who rose five hundred years later because almost is not obedience. Check every verse yourself.
