Exodus17:8
8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
When they were upon their march from Rephidim to Horeb, Deut. 25. 17, 18.
The ground of the quarrel was the prosecution of the old hatred of Esau against Iacob, and the revenging of themselves and their father upon the posterity of Iacob: for which they thought this the fittest season, they being now a great and potent people, Numb. 24. 20. and Israel now weak and unarmed and dispirited with long servitude.
