1 Samuel15:6
6 ¶ And Saul said unto the Kenites , Go, depart, get ye down from among the Amalekites, le[illegible: 1+ letters]t I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness [illegible: 1 word] all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
A People descending from, or nearly related unto Iet[illegible: 1+ letters]o, who anciently dwelt in Rocks near the Amalekites, Numb. 24. 21. and afterwards some of them dwelt in Iudah, Iudg. 1. 16. whence it is probable they removed, (which, dwelling in Tents, they could easily do) and retired to their old habitation, because of the Wars and Troubles wherewith Iudah was annoyed.
Some of your Progenitors did so, Exod. 18. 12. Numb. 10. 31. and for their sakes all of you shall fare the better. You were not Guilty of that sin for which Amalek is now to be Destroyed.
