The Amalakites are the Hebrew name for the tribesmen who came from what we call Saudi Arabia today.
They attacked the tribes of Israel first after the Egyptian Army was thwarted in its persuit.
At heliopolis was discovered an account of the Egyptian Pharaoh who was killed in a battle of celestial drama...but clearly it was a failure...afterward...the Kingdom of Egypt collapsed.
Records of this collapse are to be found in several Papyrus records...most notable .."Papyrus Ipuwer"..which conveys the utter ruin that befell Egypt.
Egypt is attacked by a collective known as the "Hyksos"...although a matter of debate still...some see the Hyksos as an Amalakite federation.
Several hundred years passed before the Hyksos rulers where thrown off by the Egyptians.
The Hyksos have been branded the Israelites...but historians know that no such Israelite confederacy existed in numerics to defeat Egypt nor rule them for hundreds of years.
debate to as to how the "Hyksos" were able to overthrow such a jugernaught as Egypt.
The answer lies in such records as Papyrus Ipuwer.
Some have said that a series of tremendous earthquakes occured..couple with drought...Egypt losts alot of its populce due to their structures falling on them....while the Israelites lived in tents.
some have conjectured a mix of meterotie impacts..and gravametrics from a passing comet....here is some mechanics which makes sense..as the historic record shows mass calamity in the mid east...kingdom collapses...and mass migration.
The Amalakites were on the move because of this..and slammed into Israel.
Discovering how badly damaged Egypt was...they went for her..and were most violently brutal in the process.
To the Egyptian...the Hyksos are hated...over time...that has been transmuted upon Israel...and yes..some Egyptian scholars admit this...that Israel did not sack Egypt.
Spring ahead several hundereds of years..and we find correspondence between the Egyptians and the Israelite king Saul...whose ancient name was "Li'byhu"..or the Lion.
The ancient Israelite records mention Saul fighting the Amalakites..and going to a certain regional boundry to defeat them.
What gets wild here..is that the Egyptians have records which reveal a temporary coalition..where the Egyptian Army fought with "The one"...near a city and a river...and defeated the Hyksos.
analysis of "The one" reveals foundation that it is infact...King Saul.
The Egyptian record restores emphasis to Pharaoh for the victory..but the one is made mention of in the lesser..what locks this in...is who was able in that time period to help Egypt...and who had a History with each other.
Now in our time..we find the same spirit of the Amalakite moving at Israel...in Lebanon..before the PLO and Hizbullah...there was "Amal" .
Israel helped the Jordainians during Black Sept...Nixon gave the OK...IAF Phantoms turned back a very large mechanized armor coloumn heading out of Syria to Amman Jordan..with Russian advisors to help the PLO.
I believe this is not the first time Israel has helped a nation in the region,who was at a point in time prior...hostile to her.
Have a book with the "guts" of Papyrus Ipuwer trans to English..its an amazing record.
