  2. Explication du texte

When did David fight against the Ammonites and Amalekites?

2 Samuel 8:12 (NEG79)

12 sur la Syrie, sur Moab, sur les fils d'Ammon, sur les Philistins, sur Amalek, et sur le butin d'Hadadézer, fils de Rehob, roi de Tsoba.

David’s conflict against the Ammonites is recorded in 2 Samuel 10:1–12:31. There are no specific battles recorded against the Amalekites, but we know from earlier chapters that David fought against them (see 1 Samuel 27:8; 1 Samuel 30:1–31) and thereby executed the Lord's justice (Exodus 17:14; Deuteronomy 25:19).1
