The
battle betwixt the Israelites and Amalekites.
Exodus 17:8-13
Then came Amalek,
and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said unto Joshua,
Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow
I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in
mine hand. So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought
with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top
of the hill. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand,
that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek
prevailed. But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone,
and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur
stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other
on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going
down of the sun. And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people
with the edge of the sword. (KJV)
