1 Chronicles4:43

43 And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, and dwelt there unto this day .

No[illegible: 1+ letters] destroyed by Saul, or David, or his Successors.

Either 1. until the Captivity of the Ten Tribes. But that happening so speedily after this time, this Expression may seem to be very improper and insignificant here. Or rather 2. until the Babylonish Captivity or the time next after it, when these books were written. For although the main Body of that Tribe dwelling in Canaan were carried into Captivity, yet this small Remnant of them having removed their Dwellings, and being planted in Mount Seir, which by Southward from Iudah, might possibly be continued and preserved in those Parts, when their Brethren were gone into Captivity.
