1). Amalek was a terrorist who preyed on the weak and weary of Israel. His inspiration was the devil.
a). Deuteronomy 25:17-19 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;
25:18 How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.
25:19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.
b). Notice in verse 19, God says that the time would come after they were in the promised land that Israel would blot out Amalek from under heaven. This was the time that was to be accomplished and the task was given to Saul and his army.
2). The incidents of terror by the Amalakites occurred after Israel crossed the Red Sea and were geographically in what is now, Saudi Arabia. It occurred during the second month after coming out of Egypt and Israel had to defend himself with a war.
a). Exodus 17:8-16 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
17:9 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.
17:10 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.
17:11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
17:13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
17:14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
17:15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
17:16 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
