What does the Bible say about God's judgment on Amalek?

In 1 Samuel 15, God commands Saul to utterly destroy the Amalekites due to their grievous sins against Israel, exemplified by their attack on God's people when they came out of Egypt (1 Samuel 15:2-3). This divine judgment is not to be interpreted as ethnic cleansing, but rather as God's righteous judgment against sin. The scripture highlights that God's commands stem from His perfect holiness, indicating that judgment is just based on the wickedness of the Amalekites, who are described as 'sinners' deserving of extermination. Understanding this context helps us grasp the gravity of sin and the seriousness of divine judgment.
